CHILD LIGHTS CANDLES IN JERUSALEM FOR VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST, 1997-05-04 (photo)

An Israeli child and his mother light candles in the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial as Israel remembers the six-million Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis during World War II at the beginning of Holocaust Martyr's and Heroes' Remembrance Day May 4 evening. Flags throughout Israel are at half-mast for the 24-hour memorial day and tomorrow the country will come to a virtual standstill as sirens wail to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day. This year special emphasis is put on the 1.5-million Jewish children who perished in the holocaust. ISRAEL HOLOCAUST
