Day of Salvation and Liberation (יוֹם השִחרוּר וההַצָלָה) is a Jewish holiday celebrated on the 26th day of the month Iyar, which commemorates the victory of Allies against Nazi Germany and the saving of the Jewish people from annihilation at the hands of Nazi Germany.
Whilst commemorating the same historical events, the sacred religious meaning of the Day of Salvation and Liberation makes it distinct from other established non-religious (secular) holidays which commemorate the surrender of Nazi Germany. Those are traditionally celebrated on the 8th of May across European nations as Victory in Europe Day, on the 9th of May across Russia, a number of ex-USSR and Eastern Europe states as Victory Day and on the 9th of May across Israel as a Victory in Europe Day.
