The sirens wail for two minutes, the entire country comes to a standstill. Cars stop in the middle of the road, people sad, and take time to remember the martyrs and heroes.
Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day (Monday evening until Tuesday) was set to mark the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and has been traditionally commemorated around the world.
But this year it's different. We've all seen the movie Defiance. We all know who the Bielski Brothers were and how they fought back. How Tuvia, Asahel, Zus and Aaron did everything they could to fight and survive as proud Jews, saving over 1200 Jews in the process.
This year on Holocaust Martyrs and Heroes Remembrance Day we hold our heads high as the siren wails and continue the legacy of the Bielski Brothers as we remember and pledge "Never Again!"
