Virtual Tour Yad Vashem for Educators and Students

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE YAD VASHEM MUSEUM: THROUGH THE EYES OF THE CHILD
The Nazis murdered 1.5 million Jewish children during the Holocaust and millions of others had their childhoods destroyed. Their stories are told at Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem, Israel. In this virtual tour of the Yad Vashem museum we will focus on stories of children and youth in the Holocaust using artifacts and imagery from the exhibits. Did children in the ghettos hold on to their sense of innocence, or was it challenged by the conditions in the ghetto? How was their realities unique and different from adults? What happened to those children at the end of the war; how did they begin to build their lives, often after they had lost everything. This tour is guided by Noam Gitin, Head of Overseas Groups and Young Leadership at Yad Vashem, and is open to teachers and their students

A decade in the making, the Holocaust History Museum combines the best of Yad Vashem’s expertise, resources and state-of-the-art exhibits to take Holocaust remembrance well into the 21st century.

The Holocaust History Museum occupies over 4,200 square meters, mainly underground. Both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary, it presents the story of the Shoah from a unique Jewish perspective, emphasizing the experiences of the individual victims through original artifacts, survivor testimonies and personal possessions. Join CWB and the Museum staff for this fascinating Virtual Tour as we explore the Galleries portraying the complexity of the Jewish situation.
