It is not easy to be here, but it is impossible to fly to Israel and not visit this place. I would say it's unforgivable. We must not forget and not avoid such a catastrophe. Young people are encouraged to visit. The museum is unique. The complex is large and includes many buildings. In the museum you can watch a documentary video - there are special screens for this. There are audio guides in Russian. If you are with some bags, then they must be left in a special storage room, otherwise they will simply not let you through.

The name of the complex (Biblical Hebrew ?????????? ? y? d w? -? ? m - “memory and name”) comes from the words of the prophet Isaiah: “And I will give them in my house and within my walls the memory and a better name than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. » (Isaiah 56:5) This name of the Holocaust memorial is intended to convey the idea of ​ ​ creating a national treasury of the names of Jewish victims, which there is no one to wear after their death.

Our group was brought to the Yad Vashem memorial in the morning. There was a little rain, which is not very typical for the end of March. The entrance to the territory begins with passing through the check of bags, then we pass through the turnstile, safety is first of all. What can be said about this huge museum? It is impossible to leave without tears. Diaries and records of Holocaust survivors, their personal belongings, works of art are presented to visitors in the museum, and accompanying video materials convey all the pain and bitterness of this indescribable tragedy in the history of mankind.
