Holocaust Remembrance Day at the Market in Jerusalem

April 12 was Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel. On this day at 10 am throughout the country, a siren sounds and everyone stands still for two minutes in order to honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and to commemorate those who fought back. This was filmed in the busy Machaneh Yehudah market in Jerusalem. Seventy-two years after the end of WWII, anti-Semitism persists – one need only look at the comments on this video at YouTube. It boggles the mind. Thanks to Violet for helping with the cameras.
