On a hillside overlooking Jerusalem’s Ein Kerem Valley, the new Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum is the culmination of a 10-year, $100 million redevelopment project of Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority. The new cultural, educational, and scholarly institution reaffirms Yad Vashem’s status as an important international center of Holocaust research and remembrance. The most essential component of the four-acre, 800,000-square-foot campus is the 40,000-square-foot Holocaust History Museum designed by Moshe Safdie and Associates. The Museum, which opened in March, replaces Yad Vashem’s preexisting Historical Museum, serving – in essence – as the complex’s new core.
