Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Over 4.5 million names of Holocaust victims are stored in the Hall of Names, a circular space where their portraits and personal artifacts line the walls. The campus sits on Mount Herzl's western slope and includes the original 1957 Historical Museum, replaced in 2005 by a striking 4,200-square-meter prismatic structure.
Destacados: The Hall of Names contains an underground repository with an estimated 2.5 million Pages of Testimony, handwritten forms submitted by survivors and families, leaving empty spaces for the unrecorded victims. A single candle flame reflects infinitely in a mirrored cone above, creating the illusion of stars in a dark sky as visitors stand in the center of the room.
Consejos de expertos
- Allow at least 20 minutes at the end for the Children's Memorial, where a single flame reflects through a dark room as names are read aloud at a low volume.
- Skip the introductory film in the first theater if time is tight: the museum's chronological flow tells the story clearly without it.
- Wear comfortable shoes for the sloping walkway through the museum: the route descends and ascends gradually over 180 meters.
- Photography is prohibited inside the museum galleries but allowed outdoors on the Viewpoint Terrace overlooking the Jerusalem hills.
