Sixty-four years after the Holocaust, during which six million Jews perished at the hands of the Nazi killing machine, Israelis bowed their heads and remembered the victims as National Holocaust Remembrance Day events commenced on Tuesday.
At 10 am sirens wailed throughout the country and Israelis stood up for two minutes of silence.
Immediately following the sirens, the central state ceremony at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Museum in Jerusalem opened.
