Air raid sirens sounded throughout Israel on Tuesday, marking two minutes of silence, as Israelis remembered the 6 million Jews who died at the hands of the Nazis and commemorated the anniversary of the best-known uprising against the Germans, AP reported. Addressing the opening ceremony Monday evening at the Yad Vashem Heroes and Martyrs Authority in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon warned that anti-Jewish acts continue, though sometimes in different forms. On Monday Bulgarian Jews remembered the victims of the Holocaust with a service at Sofia synagogue. Former Nevada Governor Bob Miller, who arrived in Sofia Monday, attended the service.
