A must visit. I actually learned a lot about what happened, more than I would have guessed. I went Friday morning and it was very packed with massive tour groups. There was times when you actually couldn't move there was that many people. Maybe visit at a different time.

A powerful museum that will impress you. In addition to the main hall, which describes in detail the history of the Catastrophe of European Jewry during World War II with numerous exhibits and eyewitness videos, there is a synagogue with details of synagogues that suffered from the Holocaust. It is possible to rent an audio guide for the main exhibition at an inexpensive price. There are a number of monuments. Original installations. Video archive, archive with the ability to trace the history of a specific settlement, an art museum. There are also many trees in honor of the righteous of the peoples of the World, places for rest and snack. Personally, I studied this complex for several full days. Only for the main hall, if you want to listen to all audio recordings, you need to allocate about a day, or several visits for several hours. On Thursday, it usually works until 20.00. There is a free charter to the stop Ar Erzl. In the main hall, they begin to rush guests for about half an hour or even more, etc. closing. Please bear this in mind. There is a wonderful site with a map, a lot of materials and I recommend that you think over the route in advance.

If I had to choose one place in Jerusalem, that would be the museum. Concrete, modern construction built on the hills below the center of Jerusalem. Access directly from the old town by tram number one ("Mount Herzl" stop.) Entrance to the museum is free, but it is worth to buy audioguide - it is in several languages, including Polish (30 shekels) .The museum is very popular - crowds come to it. It is difficult to turn around in order to see the museum and the park with trees planted by the Righteous Among the Nations need a good 4-5 hours.The exhibition in the museum is modern and very varied. It touches not only the issue of the Holocaust but also the presence of Jews in the world in general. It is a deeply moving and extremely informative place.

Invested and exciting. You need a full day to explore it.
Admission is free, and it is very nice.
The cafeteria is too expensive for unorganized individuals, but the food is delicious.
You have to take into account that sometimes Amos is impossible to park in the parking lot, but on Mount Herzl (about 8 minutes walk, or free shuttle).

Absolute "must see" in Jerusalem! An atmosphere similar to Auschwitz. A perfectly documented and chronologically presented history of the Holocaust. Inside, a lot of souvenirs from that period, including original Schindler's List.
The light chamber is number one in Yad Vashem - it comes out on soft legs.
For rent for 30 shekels, audio guide in Polish.
Contrary to popular belief - you can easily take pictures everywhere, also with flash.

I have nothing to say heartrending
Present the story of the Holocaust on the other hand and from a different angle
And how they took advanced technological means and turned it into a very beautiful and advanced museum

Yes you need to go here. If you have already visited one of the death camps this will be quite vivid. Ask about the trees or get a guide, and walk through the children's memorial, which is more of a memorial are installation than a museum. Yad Vashem connects the Holocaust across many nation's; a good basic education.

The tour is instructive, and from the very first moment it is chilling and tearful.
Anyone who does not take instruction or shelters with instruction on every point makes a mistake!
An unparalleled experience.
The tutorial gives you orientation, and amazing explanations, extensions and references that just reading on the site does not provide.
I recommend ordering, even off-site on the way there, training devices. It's worth every minute !!!

Passing this terrible story to posterity is a must for every Jew as it is there as it is written in the Torah Remember what Amalek did to you ... don't forget! , I have yet to see Jews with written numbers from Auschwitz my children have not yet. I would very much like to see something like that in their eyes.
The story of the legacy of Yeshivot members before and after the Holocaust is to be completed in this museum, as well as more information about the Belas Partisan family who saved hundreds of Jews of all kinds, including wise students.
I would also recommend removing some of the pictures that may not be in honor of the murdered.
The main thing is not to go away broken but with a sense of responsibility to all of Israel to continue his legacy in all areas!
Israel Lives!
