Tragic.
I’m always struck by how Israel’s Holocaust day Yom HaShoah (which starts tonight) differs from the international one; it marks not a camp’s liberation but the date of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest Jewish revolt against the Nazis. (Captured fighters pictured.)pic.twitter.com/HqPXnimP58

It's possibly cos the celebration of the liberation of a camp means celebrating victimhood. While celebrating an uprising against those who wanted to annhilate your people entirely is about recognising and honouring yourself.

That is because the uprising is seen as the birth of the nation of Israel, when the spirit to take control of their own destiny took root in the Jewish peoples of Europe. For the allies the liberation of the camps implanted the undeniable realization of the of what had happened.

A decision that reflects secular Zionist shame - not one that would be made today I think (would be separate days now) - on a date chosen to avoid dates the religious community wanted.
