Yad Vashem | Vibepedia

Yad Vashem is Israel's official memorial institution to the victims of the Holocaust, dedicated to preserving their memory, honoring survivors and those who fought against the Nazis, and researching the phenomenon of genocide. Established by the Knesset in 1953, Yad Vashem is located on the Mount of Remembrance in Jerusalem, near the graves of Theodor Herzl and other notable Jewish leaders. The institution's vision is to lead the documentation, research, education, and commemoration of the Holocaust, and to convey its significance to people worldwide, including those at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum.
