Rehovot Streets At Standstill At Sound of The Holocaust Memorial Siren

The sound of the siren commemorating the memorial of National Holocaust Day interrupted the bustle of Rehovot?s life at 10 a.m. on Thursday, May 5, 2005.

All those who were on the city's streets at this time - both pedestrians and drivers stood in silence, paying tribute to the six million innocent Holocaust victims of Hitler's Nazi war crimes during 1933-1945.

The pictures show people standing stationary at the junction of Rehovot's Herzl and Hapoalim Streets.
