Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday paid his respects at Yad Vashem-Israel’s official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust in Jerusalem.
At Yad Vashem, his prayer was quiet and reflective. Both Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu and PM Narendra Modi stood in silence at the Hall of Remembrance, while recitations in Kaddish were on, honouring the victims of the Holocaust. The focus was respect, remembrance, and hope for peace and humanity.
Yad Vashem is Israel’s official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, located in Jerusalem. Established in 1953, it is dedicated to preserving the memory of the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators during World War II.
The memorial includes the Holocaust History Museum, the Hall of Names, and the Children’s Memorial. Yad Vashem also honors the “Righteous Among the Nations,” non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews. Through education, research, and remembrance, Yad Vashem ensures that the stories of victims and survivors are never forgotten.
