Video: Israel Comes to a Halt as Sirens Mark Holocaust Remembrance Day
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Israel commemorated the six million Jews who were murdered by Nazis in the Holocaust on Monday with a two-minute siren that brought the country to a halt at 10 a.m. Prime Minister Netanyahu, speaking at Yad Vashem on Sunday evening, said: "The simple truth is that in our world...the strong survive, the weak are erased....The lesson is that we must be able to defend ourselves, by ourselves, against all threats and all enemies." Some 189,000 Holocaust survivors live in Israel.
