Yad Vashem & Mount Hertzl, by Jordyn




Today we went went to Jerusalem for the second time. This time we went to Yad Vashem, and after Har Hertzl (mount Herztl). At Yad Vashem a tour guide explained the museum as we walked through it. Yad Vashem is an amazing museum, but also horrifying, as everything that they show has happened to us Jews during WWII. In the museum there are many things and clips from then Holocaust. The museum makes us feel as if we were really there. After going through the main museum we then moved on to the children's memorial. The children's memorial is a memorial for all the children during the Holocaust. After that we moved up the hill to Har Hertzl where many important people, including Theodore Hertzl is buried. Today it was pouring rain but it didn't matter because we were all together and today was our last full day together.
