the streets are almost empty, but all who are out have stopped and stand still. the cars have pulled over to the side of the road and sit, lined up, waiting, listening to the siren. A steady, eerie sound that reaches the whole city.
today is holocaust memorial day. in israel, it is call the day of shoah, a word representative of the holocaust, and courage. it is a day where this nation stops and remembers the 6 million of their not-so-distant relatives who died, and those who, by the grace of God, did not.
two minutes. two minutes of stillness, two minutes of silence, except for the shrill call of the siren. that's not much time to remember.
