Yad Vashem is The National Museum of the State of Israel to Commemorate the Jewish Holocaust that took place in Europe during World War II. During the Holocaust, millions of innocents were killed as part of the racist policies of the dark regimes at those times, 6 million of them were Jews.
Alongside a permanent exhibition that tells the story of the Holocaust from start to end, there are alternating exhibitions on a variety of topics. The current exhibition deals with the subject of photography during the Holocaust.
The exhibit shows the use of photography for propaganda, publicity purposes amd documantation, both from the Nazis and from the victims points of view.
The exhibit highlights the photographs and their motives to capture those distinctive moments during human history.
In the exhibition are also shown cameras and photographic instruments used during this period in history.

As a descendant for Holocaust survivors, the exhibit was very significant to me and made me excited to see the evil forces were defeated and the efforts of the victims to document the horrors were not for nothing.
The exhibition is presented in Hebrew and English, free of cost and also accessible to people with disabilities. Guidance can be coordinated or toured independently.
