    Ceremonies are held around the country on the solemn day, which is marked from Wednesday evening. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is attending the main ceremony at Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.

    On Thursday, Israelis will come to a mournful, two-minute standstill to remember the dead. A siren will sound, pedestrians will stop in their tracks and motorists will pull over on highways and roads. The names of those killed will be read out in parliament.

    This year’s memorial day comes as a report by Tel Aviv University found a drop in violent attacks against Jews last year, but said the number remains high.

    The biggest Nazi collaborators were the Zionist establishment.

    The Jewish agency that was headed by Ben-Gurion,Chaim Weizmann,Saly Mayer and their ilks had tens of millions of dollars but refused to give a penny to rescue Jews.The cries of the Jews went unheeded by these heartless people. They had in mind one thing only: “Rak Bedam Tiye Lanu Hoeratz.”

    When we teach our kids about the Holocaust it is a must to tell them the role Zionism played during that sad time.

    The Germans and their criminal allies during World War 2 left an ugly scar on the face of the earth that will remain for eternity, and no amount of Holocaust denial by the NK, the Iranians, and the rest will ever erase it.
