Holocaust victims' names given public readings in towns across Czechia

The names of Holocaust victims were publicly read out on Monday afternoon in 31 Czech towns and cities for Yom HaShoah or Holocaust Remembrance Day. The public reading of Holocaust victims' names has taken place annually in Czechia since 2006, initially only in Prague, but with more and more towns and cities participating each year. According to the organisers, the idea is to spread awareness of the Holocaust and show the extreme consequences of racist government policies.
