In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Jerusalem Municipality is illuminating the Old City walls with the yellow patch symbol, alongside memorial candles and the words “Remember” and “Never Forget.”
The capital is home to approximately 7,900 Holocaust survivors, to whom the municipality says it provides social services throughout the year.
