There aren't enough days in the year to remember all of important history by naming a day, but some days stand out. The oldest one I know is the 9th day of the month of Av in the Jewish calendar, Tisha b'Av.
But October 7 is likely to be remembered for a long time, an unimaginable day whose dire consequences are still unfolding.
The Genesis Prize Foundation remembers the first anniversary with these videos:

"This week we
mark a full year since October 7 when Hamas murdered 1,200 innocent
people in Israel and dragged over 200 hostages into Gaza. And while media
attention has shifted to Iran and Lebanon, it is important that the world
not forget that over 100 hostages still remain in captivity in unbearable
conditions in Gaza.
"Our foundation
will not stop speaking out until they are all home.
"As we all
struggle with how to cope with this unimaginable reality, one thing we
can do is continue to share the stories of those directly impacted, and
keep the plight of the hostages top of mind for communities around the
world.
"Please watch and
share these documentaries about October 7.

"May the new year
bring peace, health, and the return of our stolen loved
ones. Shana Tova
to you and your families.
