As Israel marks Holocaust Remembrance Day, the nation reflects on the tragic events of the Holocaust and recent attacks, drawing poignant parallels between past atrocities and current threats. The day is particularly somber this year due to the October 7 attack by Hamas, described as the bloodiest antisemitic massacre since the Holocaust. Families of hostages, including those who are grandchildren of Holocaust survivors, are holding rallies under the banner 'NEVER AGAIN IS NOW.' IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi emphasized fighting in memory of the six million Jews who perished. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during the remembrance ceremonies, emphasized the necessity of self-defense, invoking the phrase 'Never again means now!' and highlighted the ongoing threats from entities like Hamas, comparing their actions to those of the Nazis. Some Holocaust survivors had to relive their past traumas, having to jump from burning homes to escape.
