About the book >.>.> Half a century has passed since the establishment of Yad Vashem the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority. We mark the jubilee by dedicating the new museum complex which tells the tragedy of the planned extermination of the Jewish people-an act nearly carried out to completion. The “surviving remnant who lived to experience the moment of liberation began their return to the land of the living in a process of personal and national rehabilitation overshadowed by interminable memories and nightmares. Founded under a law enacted by the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) in Jerusalem-the city from where the prophet Isaiah delivered a vision of eternal peace-Yad Vashem has become the center of remembrance of the Jewish people. Seared into this memorial site is the commandment to preserve a memory of universal significance for posterity-as a warning and concurrently a hope. In its activities Yad Vashem maintains the unbreakable bond between memorialization at the Hall of Remembrance and other sites docurnentation in the archives and repositories that contain inexhaustible sources for generations of research study at the International Institute for Holocaust Research.
