The Yad Vashem, Or Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem, Israel is the Jewish people�s memorial to the murdered Six Million people and it symbolizes the ongoing confrontation about the Holocaust. It contains the world�s largest repository of information about the Holocaust.
The Holocaust Memorial was established in 1953 by act of the Knesset (Israel�s parliament) to commemorate the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators during the years 1933-1945.
The Holocaust Memorial is located on Har Hazikaron (Heb., Hill of Remembrance), a ridge on the western outskirts of Jerusalem. It has several commemorative monuments, an historical museum, a central archive and a research center concerning the Holocaust.
Sights to see are the Hall of Remembrance (Ohel Yizkor), the underground Children�s Memorial, the Valley of the Communities, the Memorial to the Deportees, and the Holocaust History Museum.
The Holocaust Memorial contains the Yad Vashem Archive collection, which comprises 55 million pages of documents, nearly 100,000 photographs, film footage and the videotaped testimonies of survivors.
The task of Yad Vashem is to perpetuate the memory and lessons of the Holocaust for future generations. The Yad Vashem International School for Holocaust Studies each year holds courses for over 100,000 students, 50,000 soldiers and thousands of educators.
The easy way to get to the Yad Vashem Memorial in Jerusalem, is to fly into the Ben Gurion International Airport. The airport is close to Jerusalem, which is about 5 miles away.
The Ben Gurion International Airport, (IATA: TLV, ICAO: LLBG), also referred to by its Hebrew acronym Natbag, is the largest and busiest international airport in Israel. It was named the best airport in the Middle East by the ACI organisation.[
The airport is located near the city of Lod, 15 km (9 mi) southeast of Tel Aviv. It is operated by the Israel Airports Authority, a government-owned corporation that manages all public airports and border crossings in the State of Israel.
The Ben Gurion International Airport is considered one of the world's most secure airports, with a security force that includes both police officers and IDF soldiers.
There are several hotels in or near Jerusalem.
There are several Guided Tour Agencies offering standard city, and historical tours of Jerusalem, Israel and the surrounding areas.
After arranging your flight we would suggest getting your hotel and then letting them arrange tours of the area for you. If you call the hotels Concierge Services ahead of your arrival, all of this can be pre-arranged for you.
I do this all the time. It is safe and it works!!! I have never experienced a problem doing it this way!
