Projected onto the ancient stones were the yellow star, memorial candles, and the words \u201cYizkor\u201d and \u201cWe will never forget.\u201d This striking visual display formed a poignant link between the Jewish people\u2019s past and the heart of the capital\u2014a city that brings together identity, history, and hope.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An embrace for Jerusalem\u2019s survivors<\/strong><br \/>\nRoughly 7,900 Holocaust survivors currently live in Jerusalem. The city provides them with year-round social and emotional support through a variety of community-based programs. These initiatives reflect a deep understanding that Holocaust remembrance is not just a once-a-year event, but a daily responsibility to those who endured unimaginable horrors and chose to rebuild their lives.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"\u05d7\u05d5\u05de\u05d5\u05ea \u05d4\u05e2\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e2\u05ea\u05d9\u05e7\u05d4 \u05d4\u05d5\u05d0\u05e8\u05d5 \u05d1\u05e1\u05de\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d6\u05d9\u05db\u05e8\u05d5\u05df \u05dc\u05e9\u05d5\u05d0\u05d4 (\u05e6\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05dd: \u05d0\u05e8\u05e0\u05d5\u05df \u05d1\u05d5\u05e1\u05d0\u05e0\u05d9)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MRGVYCT04mU?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/reganews.co.il\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion emphasized the importance of remembrance: \u201cJerusalem remembers and honors, embracing the thousands of survivors who live here.

In a city that has been destroyed and rebuilt time and again, Holocaust imagery projected on its ancient stones serves as a living testimony: the Jewish people not only survived but returned to the center of history and rebuilt their lives.
