Following the siren sounded annually on Yom Hashoah throughout Israel, when people stand for a moment of silence in honor of the Jews murdered in the Holocaust, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu laid a wreath at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem on Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day 2023.
This year’s central theme was Jewish Resistance during the Holocaust: Marking 80 Years since the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
At the Knesset ceremony, the prime minister lit a candle in honor of the victims.
