Writersoul: There was an argument within the government when they created the day. The religious faction wanted to add Yom Hashoah to Asarah B’teves, which would have been a tremendous Kiddush Hashem and would have been recognized by almost everyone. Sadly, the government made the other choice. And they put it in Nissan, no less. But I think many now realize it was a mistake and if they could do it again even many of the more secular would choose Asarah B’teves.
