Now to Israel, where the Miss Holocaust Survivor pageant is being staged right now in Jerusalem.

The annual event - established by a charity to empower women who survived the holocaust - has been running for 10 years, although it hasn't been staged since 2018 because of the pandemic.

The winner three years ago was a 93-year-old survivor of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

Jerusalem-based journalist Abby Seitz spoke to Susie Ferguson.
