19 April 2001: Holocaust Remembrance day
Today we commemorated the Holocaust Remembrance Day. In 10:00 a siren echoed throughout the entire country, and we stood in a moment of silence to honor the 6,000,000 (6 million) Jews who were murdered by the Nazi death machine and their helpers.
You can find info on the Holocaust in the following sites:
Women and the Holocaust - a website dedicated to the women who were murdered in the Holocaust and to the women who survived.
Yad Vashem - The Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority
remember.org - Cybrary of the Holocaust.
Simon Wiesenthal Center - an international Jewish human rights organization dedicated to preserving the memory of the Holocaust.
