Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel
On Holocaust Remembrance Day, places of entertainment are closed and memorial ceremonies are held throughout the country. The central ceremonies are held at Yad Vashem on the evening and the morning of the memorial day.
Six million Jews and millions of others from targeted groups were murdered by the Nazi regime and its allies in the Holocaust from 1933-1945.
Shlomo Mansour, an 86-year-old resident of Kibbutz Kissufim who survived the Nazi-inspired Farhud pogrom in Bahjdad in 1941, is one of the 133 Israelis still being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza.
