A wail of sirens brought Israel to a standstill on Tuesday morning for a two-minute silence to remember the victims of the Holocaust.
At a ceremony, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Holocaust deniers would never be allowed to carry out another Holocaust of the Jewish people.
Six million Jews were murdered in the Nazi Holocaust during WWII.
Remembrance ceremonies were held across the world, including at the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz in Poland.
