  • Repost @kranenburguide_travel_israel Yad Vashem Square, located by the entrance to the Mount of Remembrance, is engraved with the words Yad Vashem in Hebrew on natural Hebron stone. Yad Vashem Chairman Avner Shalev: “It was important that the Square, which is used as the main entrance to Yad Vashem, be designed in a modest and minimalist fashion. The Square serves as a gradual transition between the daily reality of the Jerusalem city streets to the Mount of Remembrance, Yad Vashem, a visit which for many is a very meaningful and emotional experience.” . . #yadvashem #yadvashemmuseum #holocaustmuseum #travelphotography #travelgram #instatravel #jerusalem #jerusalem24_7 #jerusalemoftheday #israel

  • “With me here are six million accusers” – Gideon Hausner, Chief Prosecuting Attorney at the Eichmann Trial. 57 years ago to this day, on 15 December 1961, Adolf Eichmann was sentenced to death by a district court in Jerusalem. Eichmann was found guilty on 15 counts of crimes against the Jewish people, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and membership in a hostile organization. The Eichmann trial was a historic milestone for many reasons- not the least of which was that in a legal setting, survivor testimony was being considered as historically significant as a document. The trial gave the survivors a voice in a public and unprecedented forum. . . #yadvashem #otd #history #gideonhausner #adolfeichmann #1961 #crimesagainsthumanity #holocaust #holocausthistory

They managed to keep the Jews’ presence a secret until the end of the war, despite the fact that only 400 people lived in their small village Zuidbarge (The Netherlands), all of whom knew each other.

  • I just couldn't stand by and see people destroyed. I did what I could, what I had to do, what my conscience told me I must do... - Oskar Schindler. Oskar Schindler was a German industrialist and a member of the Nazi Party who saved the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust. Schindler saved Jews from deportation by employing them in his enamelware and munitions factories near Krakow. These Jews were registered on what came to be known as Schindler's List. Thousands of descendants of Schindler's Jews are alive today thanks to his brave actions. Oskar and Emilie Schindler are among the 27,000 heroic non-Jews recognized by Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations for risking their lives to rescue Jews during the Holocaust. . . #yadvashem #righteousamongthenations @schindler #oscarschindler #schindlerslist #stevenspileberg #spileberg #holocaustsurvivors #holocaustremembrance #neverforget

  • Today would have been the 105th birthday of the Righteous Among the Nations, pastor Idebert Exbrayat. One night in late August 1942, he was awakened by a knock on his front door and was astonished to find his neighbor, the rabbi, his wife and 5 children, all seeking refuge from the police. The Exbrayats welcomed the family and agreed to shelter them. Thus began a new and dangerous chapter in the lives of the Exbrayat family, focused on saving Jews. The 30-year-old Exbrayat and his wife Yvonne lived in Rodez (France), which was in the unoccupied zone until November 1942. Pastor Exbrayat and his wife joined the underground group of 8 Jews in their extremely dangerous work. Eventually, the Germans killed 4 members of the group and captured and deported two others. Thanks to the Exbrayats, many Jews survived the Holocaust. On September 13, 1979, Yad Vashem recognized Pastor Idebert Exbrayat and his wife Yvonne as Righteous Among the Nations. . #yadvashem #righteousamongthenations #france #rodez #holocaust #shoa #holocausto #pastor #church #1942 #birthday

  • English cookies. Beat 4 egg whites with 12 dekagrams (units of 10 grams) sugar for a long time. Add 12 dekagrams almonds (not blanched), and 12 dekagrams flour. Bake in an oblong pan. Slice thinly the following day. Recipe that Františka Quastler (later Nurit Stern) wrote in her album in the Ravensbrück camp. The book contains dedications written by camp inmates and recipes that she wrote herself. Nurit relates that the women would “cook” in their imagination. She made the book using pages that she stole from the factory and then connected with wire. She hid the book and the pencil inside her mattress.

  • Please retrieve my daughter from the Christian family I am entrusting her with, and raise her as a Jewish woman, loyal to the Torah and to her people… in all the lands of the Diaspora, we live as if on the edge of a volcano. Shalom-Shachna Broin-Kahane wrote these words in his last letter, dated November 30th, 1942 that he sent to his relatives in the US from the Zbaraż ghetto. When the war broke out, Shalom, his wife Chana and daughter Hadassah (b. 1938) moved from Rzeszów (Poland) to Zbaraż in the Tarnopol region to live with Shalom's relatives, and the family was incarcerated in the Zbaraż ghetto. They managed to send Hadassah, equipped with forged identity papers, to Tarnopol, to the home of a Christian woman named Sabina and her husband, a Czech Jew. Hadassah was hidden there as an Aryan child until the area was liberated by the Red Army. She was told that her parents had been murdered while the war was still going on. Please contact us if you have any further information about Shalom or Chana. . . #otd #yadvashem #holocaust #holocausto #shoa #1942 #lastletter #letter #zbaraż #rzeszów #history #jewishhistory #холокост
