On Monday night, Jerusalem City Hall marked the beginning of Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel with a moving visual tribute at central points across the city
At nightfall, images of a yellow star and memorial candles were projected onto the walls of the Old City and the Bridge of Chords, at the entrance to the capital, accompanied by the words “Remember” and “We will never forget”, written in Hebrew.
This initiative sought to honor the victims of the Holocaust and reinforce collective memory.
The city hall recalled that around 6,900 Holocaust survivors currently live in Jerusalem.
Mayor Moshe Lion commented on the gesture with touching words: “Jerusalem bows its head and joins in remembering the six million victims of the Holocaust, lovingly embracing the thousands of survivors who live among us.
The city stands with them every day, in the spirit of Jerusalem’s mutual responsibility, and works to ensure their physical and mental well-being.
This is both our duty and our privilege.
Let us remember forever and never forget.”
The projection illuminated the city in a moment of reflection and respect, reinforcing Israel’s commitment to keeping the memory of past atrocities alive so that they are never repeated.
