Torchlighters
Each year, six Holocaust survivors
are chosen to light torches in memory of the six million Jews who
perished during the Holocaust. Their wartime experiences reflect
the central theme chosen by Yad Vashem for Holocaust Remembrance
Day. The torches are lit during the central memorial ceremony held
at Yad Vashem on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day.
