• The third candle is lit in commemoration of the ghetto fighters and partisans in the forests.

• The fourth candle is lit in honor of the small minority of non-Jewish Europeans and for the Soldiers of the U.S. Army who risked or gave their own lives to save Jews from the claws of the Nazis.

• The fifth candle is lit in commemoration of the survivors of the holocaust who after the horror of the Nazi regime built up a new existence for themselves.

• The last candle is lit in honor of the State of Israel that has become the homeland for the Jewish people. (U.S. Army photo by Candy Knight)
