As part of the international Blue Flag exercise, Israeli Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin and German Air Force Commander Lt. Gen. Ingo Gerhartz led a joint flight over Jerusalem.

Nearly 77 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, Israeli Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Amikam Norkin and German Air Force Commander Lt. Gen. Ingo Gerhartz led a joint flight over Jerusalem as part of the international Blue Flag exercise.

The commanders also visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Center, where they participated in a commemoration ceremony at the Hall of Remembrance.

The commanders lit the eternal flame and laid a memorial wreath in honor of the victims of the Holocaust.

Truly historic.
