It's a one day holiday that falls on the 9th day of the month of Aw (that's the meaning of its name) and it commemorates the destruction of both the First Temple by Babylonians in 586 BCE and the Second Temple by Romans in 70 CE. Moreover, on the same day the Jews were expelled from England in 1290 and from Spain in 1492. During the Holocaust, Germans were deliberately choosing that day to prosecute very brutal acts inside ghettos.
