Yom HaShoah Ceremony - Youth Choir

In Yed Vashem, the Israeli national Holocaust (in Hebrew, "Shoah") memorial, every year they read the names of all 6 million Jews killed. This year, as the focus of remembrance was the children who were killed, they have children who survived reading many of the names of the dead. Before this started, around 11 AM, a youth choir opened with beautiful yet mournful music, which is what this video captures.
