Millions of Israelis marked the annual day of remembrance for the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust
Drivers stopped and exited their cars, school children stood in ceremonies, and offices and cafes shut down
Through the streets people of all walks of life stood together with their heads bowed for two minutes silence
Israelis came to a halt to observe two minutes of solemn silence as a siren blared, marking the annual remembrance of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
Drivers exited their vehicles and students at schools stood in ceremonies beginning with the siren at 10am on Wednesday, while outside shops and offices, Israelis stood still, many with heads bowed.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended a wreath-laying ceremony at Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial that night, alongside dignitaries, survivors and delegations from throughout Israel.

Elsewhere in the country, restaurants and cafes in the ordinarily bustling streets of Tel Aviv shuttered, and TV and radio stations played Holocaust-themed programs.
Holocaust survivors lit six torches at the Wednesday memorial to mark the six million Jews massacred by the Nazis during World War II.
An hour after the siren, members of the public were to recite names of Holocaust victims in the 'Unto Every Person There Is A Name' ceremony at Yad Vashem as well as in the Israeli parliament, or Knesset.
A third of the world's Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. Israel was established afterward in 1948, and hundreds of thousands of survivors fled to the Jewish state.
