Today is Holocost Remeberence Day in Israel and National Prayer Day in the U.S. Here, the president talked about the freedom to pray.

There, sirens sounded for a moment, and people stopped everything to reflect on the six million people that died sixty years ago. For a full moment, pedestrians stood silent, trams stopped, cars parked where they were.

Guess which video was more arresting?

I don't know why I bring it up; the juxtaposition amused me.
