The Walls of the Jewish Temple were breached on the 17th day of Tammuz. The 17th of Tammuz is a communal fast day that commemorates the Breaching of the Walls of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar (586 BCE) and Titus (70 CE), prior to the destruction of the Holy Temple. These breaks in the walls of the holy city of Jerusalem came after many months of siege in which the city’s residents suffered extreme hardships, sickness and hunger.

On July 8, 1944 (17th of Tammuz 5704), the Germans deported most of the remaining Jews to the Dachau concentration camp in Germany or to the Stutth of camp, near Danzig, on the Baltic coast. Three weeks before the Soviet army arrived in Kovno, the Germans razed the ghetto to the ground with grenades and dynamite. As many as 2,000 people burned to death or were shot while trying to escape. This also marks the beginning of a 3-week (21 day) national period of mourning, leading up to Tisha B’Av, which is the 9th of AV or the 11th month on the civil calendar (9/11). The fast of the 17th of Tammuz coincides with American Independence Day every 10 to 20 years. The most notable of these occurrences on July 4, 1776.
