MoreWe got to Yad Vashem getting off Mount Herlz train station and then walking around 10 minutes. The place has lots of information about the holocaust, including each country where it happen throughout Europe. I like the fact that they try to get the information of all the people who died at that time, and they have it stored in a huge circular library that contains all the info. I disagree with people who say is the most impressive museum ever. I visited the Docuzentrum in Nuremberg and I found it more informative and shocking. But altogether it is well worth it.

“Marvelous display of Holocaust history”
Moving, emotional, inspirational, are all words that are understatements. I wish every person on this planet could see this museum. It clearly shows history from many years before the actual horrors took place until afterwards. I cannot encourage you more to go while you are in Israel.

“Everyone Must See”
I was here 37 years ago and am now seeing the newer version. It remains an emotional and educational experience. I could sit for hours listening to the testimonials but you can also move quickly through the chronologically laid out museum. The room for the remembrance of children was particularly difficult.

MoreThis museum will move you. At some points, it will even be difficult to see all the atrocities the human race is capable of. You will learn a lot about the Jewish and the world histrory through time. Let´s hope this museum will be part of helping the human race of not remaking the same mistakes of the past. Plan to take at least half a day if you want to see everything because it´s a very big museum. One of my highlights during my trip.
