As you enter the museum, the first display you will encounter is the incredible video artwork, "Living Landscape." The 13-meter piece is composed of original film clips and photographs that depict the rich Jewish life that existed in Europe prior to WW II. Hundreds of artifacts, photographs, documents, video testimonies and artwork are on display throughout the 9 museum galleries. The Audio Guide will offer insights into the individual stories of the victims – and the survivors - of the Holocaust that lay behind these displays. At the close of the museum is the monumental Hall of Names. As you enter the circular hall, you will see a 10-meter high upper dome on which the pictures of 600 men, women and children are displayed. As you look down, you will see the pictures reflected below in a pool of water dug deep into the bedrock. The tour ends with a breathtaking panoramic view of modern day Jerusalem, giving you a moment to reflect upon your visit to the Mount of Remembrance. Recommended tour time is from 1.5 – 4 hours.

Very moving, very beautiful testimonies and period photos that touch the heart. The duty of memory is here and not elsewhere.
Be prepared for some hard truths, but important ones. Everyone should know this history and share it.
Simply sensational. A history lesson! Everything is very well done! You receive a headset connected to a device that tells the story at each moment. Sensational! Sad story, but impressive reality
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.
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.
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.
Impressive, frightening and confronting. You'll be taken on the whole Holocaust journey. In the end too much for me.
A walk through the history and infamy of wars and Nazism in World War II. Emotional graphic and recorded testimony of the horrors against the Judis community
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.
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.
