an incredibly important place, a must-visit. It is better, of course, with a guide.

I was in Yad Vashem in 2006. First, we went to the garden on the Alley of the Righteous. Every tree planted in this garden is dedicated to the people who saved Jews in the 2nd World War. There is a sign under each tree. Then we went to the Museum. A very heavy museum.. You can't go through it without worries and tears.. The museum is made in the form of a gallery with labyrinths. It's designed so that you can't skip a single section, not a single story. You're just going through that whole horrible Holocaust journey. You leave the museum already devastated. But.. There is still a children's hall ahead, which is greeted by a sculptural group of children with Janusz Korczak, who went after the children in the Auschwitz furnace.. The hall is completely dark, without lighting, only the black sky and the stars are lit. Each visitor takes hold of the rope with his hand and walks along the narrow catwalks. And you only hear a voice that reads out the names, surnames, age and country of residence of children who died in the Holocaust. They read all day long, without interruption, in all languages and the stars light up, the souls of little dead children. When you leave this room, there are no thoughts left. Just tears. Then you find yourself on a viewing platform, which offers a beautiful view of the Jerusalem Valley, blooming hills. They say that this is done so that people understand that life goes on and you can never forget about the past.. So that the tragedy would never happen again. If you are going to Israel and Jerusalem, visit Yad Vashem.. This must be done without fail..
