Israel will come to a standstill for two minutes at 10 a.m., as the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day siren will wail to commemorate the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis during World War II.
The official state ceremony marking Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day at Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem will commence immediately after the siren.
The siren has one continuous tone, unlike alerts warning of rocket attacks, which rise and fall repeatedly.
In the event of an attack on Israel during the Holocaust Remembrance Day siren, the siren will be halted, and instead, the rocket warning siren will sound.
