Yad Vashem is the Jewish people’s living memorial to the Nazi Holocaust, and is dedicated to documenting the story of the six million victims and imparting their legacy for future generations. A visit to Yad Vashem includes the Valley of the Communities, a memorial to entire communities erased during WWII, and the Avenue of the Righteous Among the Nations, a tribute to those who took extraordinary risks to try and protect and rescue Jews during the Holocaust.
