Israelis across the country paused for two minutes on Thursday morning in order to remember the 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust.
A two-minute siren sounded on Thursday morning as all of Israel came to a standstill as the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust were remembered.
The focus then shifted to the Knesset for the ceremony called “Every Person Has a Name,” where state leaders, ministers and Knesset members read out the names of their family members who perished in the Holocaust.
