Israel comes to standstill as Holocaust Remembrance Day siren blares across country

Israelis nationwide stand in silence as a two-minute siren commemorates the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
Drivers stop their cars and get out, and people halt in the middle of the street.
Ceremonies will then begin across the country as part of Holocaust Remembrance Day.
