Israel marks Holocaust Memorial Day
Israel began marking its annual Holocaust Remembrance Day with President Shimon Peres vowing the Jewish state would never allow the Jewish genocide to be repeated. "We will never forget, we will never hide and we will never stop asking ourselves every morning what we must do to prevent what happened to ever repeat itself," Peres said at the main ceremony at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial at sundown Wednesday. Six torches were lit during the ceremony to honour the memory of the six million Jews who were killed by the Nazis during World War II.
