At 10 a.m., Israel paused in solemn remembrance as the annual Holocaust Remembrance Day siren echoed across the nation, honoring the six million Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis during World War II. The piercing sound brought life to a standstill, with pedestrians freezing in place, buses halting on bustling streets, and cars pulling over on major highways as drivers stepped out to join in the collective moment of reflection.
