Watch Highway Traffic Halt As Israel’s Sirens Wail In Memory Of Those Lost In The Holocaust

As we noted earlier, today is Holocaust Remembrance Day, and every year, at 10:00 AM, Israel observes two minutes of complete silence. A siren, heard here outside of Tel Aviv, signals for people to stop whatever they are doing. Yes, even driving.

Watching as cars stop in the middle of the highway is one of the most forceful images of this annual remembrance.

See, this is what you do when a nation remembers.
