Special days

So two weeks or so ago, we lost an hour.  We had no idea there had been daylight savings time!
Awkward.
So I have been briefed on this week.  Thursday, is Holocaust Remembrance Day here in Israel.  At 10 a.m. a siren will sound.  All traffic will stop.  Everything will pause for a moment of silence.  I'm glad I have been informed, otherwise I would undoubtedly head for a shelter :)

Wiki lists the dates and countries of Holocaust Memorial Days.

Touring Yad Vashem is/was difficult.  When I was in Cambodia, touring the Killing Fields was difficult.

However, awareness is necessary. 

 Truth is often horrifically unbelievable. 

Looking the other way doesn't fix anything.
