The
Holocaust Centre, Beth Shalom
Because
it is in the UK, Beth Shalom is not a site of the Holocaust but a place of memorial
and learning. The centre opened in 1995, and is unique as the initiative of
a Christian family. It has gained an international reputation for its sensitivity
and educational excellence.
The
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum seeks to address what this experience
might mean for an American audience, who did not experience the Holocaust and
whose primary memories are of liberation of the camps by their soldiers at the
end of World War II.
Today
the site of the former concentration camp at Auschwitz has been preserved as
a museum and memorial to the victims of the Nazis who were murdered there. Visitors
can go here to see where these events took place, to learn the history and to
reflect on it.
Israel's
national institution of Holocaust remembrance and education, Yad Vashem was
founded in 1945 in memory of the lost Jewish Communities of Europe. 'Yad Vashem'
means 'a monument and a name'. It is visited not only by Israelis and tourists,
but also by foreign leaders on state visits.
