Jerusalem remembers the Holocaust

Description

Jerusalem, Apr 21, EFE, (Camera: Joan Mas).- Israel remembers the victims of the Holocaust, the six million Jews who died at the hands of the Nazis, with two minutes of silence. At ten o'clock in the morning local time (7.00 GMT) on Tuesday, the sound of the sirens filled everything, the passers-by on the street stopped walking and stood up, many of them closing their eyes in a moment of recollection and respect, and those who were driving stopped their vehicles where they were and left them to pay homage to the victims of the genocide. An offering of flowers will be made at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, and there will also be an event at Parliament, Knesset. FOOTAGE OF THE STREETS OF WEST CENTRAL JERUSALEM AS ALARMS SOUND TO REMEMBER THE SIX MILLION JEWS KILLED DURING THE HOLOCAUST. PEDESTRIANS AND STREET TRAFFIC, STANDING IN A MOMENT OF SILENCE.
