The Associated Press JERUSALEM As Israel marked its Holocaust me- morial day, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu com- pared Iran to the Nazis on Wednesday and warned the Islamic Republic must be prevented from obtain- ing nuclear weapons. Netanyahu linked the Nazi genocide of 6 mil- lion Jews in World War II to Iran's contested nuclear program and some of the Is- lamic Republic leaders' re- peated references to the de- struction of Israel. "As the Nazis strived to trample civilization and re- place it with a 'master race' while destroying the Jew- ish people, so is Iran striv- ing to take over the region and expand further with a declared goal of destroying the Jewish state," Netan- yahu said. Israel views a nuclear- armed Iran a threat to its very existence, noting Teh- ran's support of Israel's bit- terest enemies such as Hez- bollah in Lebanon and Pal- estinian groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. "Instead of demanding Iran significantly dismantle its nuclear capabilities and conditioning lifting sanc- tions on it ending its ag- gressions, the world pow- ers are retreating, leaving Iran with nuclear capabil- ities and even allowing it to expand them later on re- gardless to its actions in the Middle East and around the world," Netanyahu said. Netanyahu has been one of the most vocal critics of world powers' tentative deal with Iran to limit its nu- clear program in exchange for a reduction in crippling economic sanctions. Tehran and world powers reached a framework agreement on the deal earlier this month. A final deal is to be finalized by June 30. Six million Jews were killed by German Nazis and their collaborators in the Holocaust, wiping out a third of world Jewry. To- day, fewer than 200,000 el- derly survivors remain in Israel, which was created just three years after the end of World War II. The annual memorial day is one of the most sol- emn on Israel's calendar. Restaurants, cafes and places of entertainment are shut down, and radio and TV programming are dedi- cated almost exclusively to documentaries about the Holocaust, interviews with survivors and somber mu- sic. On Thursday morning, Israel will come to a stand- still as sirens wail for two minutes. Pedestrians typ- ically stop in their tracks, and cars and buses halt on the streets while drivers and passengers stand with their heads bowed. Wednesday night's main ceremony at Yad Vashem, at which Netanyahu spoke, included six survivors who lit six symbolic torches to commemorate the 6 mil- lion dead. One of those was Shela Altaraz, the youngest of four children from Mace- donia, whose whole family perished in the Holocaust. During the war, she briefly found sanctuary in a Muslim village before falling ill with typhus and taken to a hospital. Eventu- ally, she was put in a con- centration camp where she was the only child. She would wake up screaming from nightmares but never uttered a word, earning the nickname "The Mute." "I'm angry at the world for not understanding and denying what happened and I am angry at myself for staying alive when so many others didn't," she told The Associated Press. "I still live those days as if they were today but I'm proud that I live in a country where they cannot chase us anymore."

A swath of showers will extend farther north to the Ohio Valley and Virginia. Enough rain can fall on parts of the Ohio Valley to cause localized flooding as well. Sunshine is in the offing for New England and along the upper part of the mid-Atlantic. Farther west, locally severe thunderstorms are projected to erupt over parts of the central Plains to the Texas coast. Rain and heavy snow will af- fect the central Rockies.
