Shas MK Yinon Azoulay described the special significance of the Tenth of Tevet fast-day, which falls today.

"The Chief Rabbinate fixed this day as the anniversary of the deaths of all Holocaust victims whose precise date of death is unknown, a day on which Kaddish [the mourner's prayer] can be said for all these people - it is therefore a very significant day for the Jewish People," he said.
