Yad Vashem provides a very good presentation of the Holocaust and surrounding events. I found it very educational, while at the same time quite sad that this occurred.

“Very interesting visit”
A powerful & moving memorial site in remembrance of the Holocaust. The site is quite large, with a number of impressive exhibits, monuments & sculptures around the grounds in addition to the main museum itself, so make sure you give yourself a good few hours to look round & take in all the information....

The easiest way to get there from the Old City is to take the light rail tram to the final stop (Mount Herzl) then walk for 5-10 minutes following the signposts.

“Deeply moving and creative ”
You need a couple of hours and you need to be prepared to read a lot of information throughout this holocaust museum. There is much to experience. The creativity of the displays and the real stories throughout make this a confronting experience. Don't forget to go through the memorial for the children.

“A somber 😔 experience”
Would only be able to share that this was a truly humbling and emotional experience. No preparation can prepare you for this visit. Gracious and grateful staff available to quietly welcome you as you walk through the journey of this tragedy. A silent walk, and powerful impact, life changing. "Lest we forget". Thoughtfully...
