ISRAEL-MODIIN-HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS

Holocaust survivors Dmitry Kazavchinski (R), 85, and his wife Svetlana, 80, are seen wearing face masks at their own house amid the COVID-19 pandemic in the central Israeli city of Modiin on April 21, 2020. As Israel is fighting the COVID-19, the annual Holocaust memorial day takes on a different face this year. Israel's Holocaust day is usually filled with ceremonies. The main one is held at Yad Vashem, the world Holocaust remembrance center, in Jerusalem. A two-minute siren cuts through the entire country in the morning and everything comes to a standstill in commemoration for the six million Jews who perished under Nazi Germany during World War II.
