Do you think 9/11 needs to be remembered like the Holocaust?

The same historical importance? See more questions in last paragraph.
I do think it’s important for us to remember 9/11. That day, and the days following, were not just something terrible that happened in NY and the US, but I had people very close to me who were very affected. My sister went through a horrible time that day and for days following being an at home nurse in NYC. My coworker and friend lost his brother who had an appointment that morning in one of the towers.
I hear a lot of people saying “never forget” which for me is a saying associated with the Holocaust. I also see “day of rememberance” which doesn’t have that same type of feeling for me. I don’t know if others feel this way. I realize the Holocaust doesn’t somehow own the words never forget.
When you hear “never forget” do you associate it with the Holocaust specifically?
Do you see remembering 9/11 as just as important as the Holocaust?
What are you remembering primarily for each event? The people who died? Why it happened? That the US was attacked? Something else?
