L KJune 15, 2015The use of architecture to tell the story is absolutely incredible. The linear path, weaving, the walls closing in, and the cold reflection pool. Opening into a grand warm view of Jerusalem. Wow.
- EL AL USAJune 7, 2012Come prepared to absorb a lot of knowledge and get a deeper understanding of Israel, Yad Vashem contains the largest repository of information on the Holocaust. A place our passengers enjoy going to!
- Alix De GrezMay 29, 2015Best museum about the holocaust. Plan 2 or 3 hours to visit. The audio guide is not really an added value as there is lot of written explanations and videos.
Aja BrandmanJuly 9, 2018A well thought out museum, especially from an architectural point of view. The guided tour was really nice and more personable
Andrew CJuly 20, 2016Always a sad and depressing to visit... But always is a very powerful and profound; depending on which tour guide you have - you'll learn something new every time!!!- Sander ZuurhoutNovember 6, 2018Most touching holocaust museum on earth, very moving pictures. Can get overcrowded with large groups so come as early as possible. Open 8:30.
- Bettina KSeptember 26, 2016The history and the story of what happened are woven into amazing architecture. Take your time when going through the exhibits, it can be overwhelming.
Martin RosenDecember 22, 2011This is a 'MUST DO' on any trip to Israel! It is so moving, especially the Children's Memorial. As said below, leave 3-4 hours to see it. You won't be disappointed!
Ahuv 🇪🇺January 28, 2016One of the best museums i have ever been too. Allow 3-4 hours. I love the structured layout
Anna MagdalenaAugust 14, 2017There isn't a word that adequately describes my experience at Yad Vashem. Make sure to take your time there as I have spent an entire day there and still felt I wasn't there long enough.

Rafal W.October 18, 2017Reveals artifacts and photographs documenting the discrimination, persecution and finally the annihilation of the Jewish communities of Europe.
Leo CastilloNovember 20, 2013Although you can do without one, I'd still recommend getting an audio guide. Adds so much more to the experience.
- Rafal W.October 18, 2017It also remembers those righteous among the nations who risked their lives while trying to save Jews.
Thomas S.November 25, 2013Schedule half a day for the museum and take an audio guide. It's definitely impressive
Павел ЕхлаковMarch 20, 2014It's a sorrow but no one allowed to take pictures inside. And you need min 3 hours to briefly review all exhibition. Take more water and patience with you! And be ready to cry, if you're sensitive.
ElieseAugust 26, 2013Don't take a tour. Go through the museum on your own and give yourself at least 3 hours to walk around.
Chris D.March 10, 2013Must see, prepare to learn and absorb history, so it may never repeat itself...
You'll need to bring tissues... and comfortable shoes!- Gabi De lucaJune 22, 2011So heavy; however an amazing experience! Loved the beautiful tribute in the Hall Of Names.
TaliaMarch 13, 2013No infants or children under 10 allowed in the museum. There are other things to see here though. :)
Joe RábanoAugust 19, 2011Take your time, it's really impressive. Don't forget visiting the Children's memorial.
Alan WeinkrantzJuly 4, 2011An important place to experience no matter what religion or belief sets you subscribe to. Read more
Philippe AZOULAYMay 13, 2010Contrary of what it is said, better plan 3 or 4 hours to visit than the 1 hour indicated.. Impressive
Elena MikheevaMay 1, 2016Возьмите аудио-гид, если планируете углубиться в историю, а не просто пройтись по стендам. Ощущения сильные!! Я стала иначе смотреть на евреев через призму мировой драмы. Пол-дня можно смело заложить.
Stasy LitMay 2, 2017Впечатляет до мурашек. Одновременно и страшно и интересно. Экспозиции, которые затрагивают каждого и остаются в памяти надолго. Обязательное место для посещения. Лучший музей о холокосте.
Victor GarridoJanuary 12, 2018Un museo que te dejará sin aliento, muy bien organizado. Con las audioguías tardarás unas 4 horas en visitarlo. Es gratuito y se puede llegar facilmente en tranvía en la línea 1 por 5,9NL
Eugenie VasilyeffOctober 31, 2013Посещение "Яд Вашем" - одна из самых главных точек путешествия в Израиль. Музей Катастрофы европейских евреев можно посетить, как с экскурсионной группой, так и самостоятельно. Вход свободный.
Ольга КасымоваNovember 18, 2016Если у вас был родственник еврей, погибший в холокосте, то на входе в музей вы можете заполнить специальную карту, и его имя будет увековечено в музее. Зал с именами погибших производит впечатление.- Juan Carlos SocorroMay 27, 2013Visitar Yad Vashem es obligatorio para cualquier ser humano. Todos tenemos la obligación de no olvidar... así nunca volverá a pasar.

"Free, but you pay for the audio guide. A bit overwhelming with all the information, so don't even try to listen to everything as you won't have time. You have to visit. Take it all in."
Amaury J - 8.6
