Attention returns to Holocaust memorial - Yad Vashem is a memorial to the Holocaust that claimed the lives of six million European Jews. Yas Vashem is a graphic series of displays which bring the attention of visitors back to history, which can never be forgotten. Inspecting Yad Vashem takes several hours, it's a return to Hitler's Germany.

Holocaust Memorial is a humbling experience - Yad Vashem is a memorial to those Jews who perished in the Holocaust and those who resisted the Nazi regime. It also commemorates the Righteous Among the Gentiles, those non-Jews who risked their lives to save their neighbors. Yad Vashem is a humbling experience. Only the Western Wall has more visitors. Yad Vashem should not be missed. Entry is free.

Superb - This is a superb museum of Holocaust material and exhibitions. My wife and I spent 6 hours reading and viewing the material. We could have stayed for 2 full days. The video presentations were excellent. We also viewed the art museum but did not have enough time to complete it. We will definitely return.

Left me empty - Plan on spending the day. So personal. Unspeakably sad, but so necessary to see. Listening to the stories from the people who lived through them left me emotionally drained. I have seen the Holocaust memorial in Washington DC and this is much more powerful.

Location is not allowed photos - Extremely heavy, strong, but necessary visit. It is impressive and at the same time very scary all that a human being is capable of doing. There you understand that everything that happened was slowly, well thought out and doctrined the children from small. There you realize that what happened was much more terrifying than we imagined, or is normally reported. We need to know the past, the mistakes of the past, in order not to comment on antisemitism in any way.

Yad Vashem - the Holocaust History Museum - Designed by architect Moshe Safdie The Holocaust (1933–1945) was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million European Jews by the Nazi German regime and its allies. This museum manages to make clear and precise what anti-Semitic hatred was.
