Yad Vashem Tour
Yad Vashem, located on the western slope of Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, was established in 1953 by the Israeli government to serve as the world center for Holocaust research, education, documentation, and commemoration. The name "Yad Vashem" translates to "a memorial and a name," a phrase taken from the Book of Isaiah in the Bible. The institution honors both the memory of the six million Jews who perished and the resilience of those who survived.
The Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews and millions of others by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II.
