The New Museum
.
The largest
museum of its kind in the world, with over 1 million annual
visitors, the Holocaust History Museum relates the story of the
Holocaust, from a Jewish perspective. The museum presents the
history of the Holocaust as an unfolding narrative, with an emphasis
placed on personal stories. The experiences of the victims and their
attempts to cope in the face of the atrocities of the Holocaust are
presented through authentic artifacts, letters, documents and works
of art that have been collected by Yad Vashem over the last fifty
years. In addition, personal testimonies are displayed on some 100
media screens throughout the museum.
The Art
Museum
The Art Museum is a testimony to the strength of the human spirit and holds
the world's largest and most important collection of Holocaust art.
It includes works of art that were created under the inconceivably
adverse conditions of the Holocaust and a selection of works done
after the war by Holocaust survivors and by other artists.
