2016-03-04: in & around Yad Veshem

Photos taken during our tour of Jerusalem's Holocaust memorial, Yad Veshem, including a video of the amazing/tragic children's memorial where a single candle was reflected seemingly endlessly by strategically-placed mirrors, which of course were invisible in the darkness. Included as well some artwork done by people in the concentration camps.

Somehow we exited the grounds at a different point than where we'd parked the car, so while Jan ran to get it, I took a picture of traffic. :)

This is a closer look from the end of the main exhibition hall.

Eternal flame in the Hall of Remembrance


Entrance to the children's memorial



As one followed the railing around the circular hall, recorded
voices named the children's names, their age when they were
killed, and their birth country.





Jerusalem traffic that Friday afternoon

  3. Incredible that they were able to reassemble all this information out of that mess of history. And heartbreaking.
