YAD VASHEM - DORON BAR KARTONIERT (TB)

In this fascinating book  the planning and building of Yad Vashem  Israel's central and most
important institution for commemorating the Holocaust  merits an outstanding in-depth account.
Following the development of Yad Vashem since 1942  when the idea to commemorate the Holocaust
in Eretz-Israel was raised for the first time  the narrative continues until the inauguration
of Nathan Rapoport's Warsaw Ghetto Uprising memorial in 1976. The prolonged and complicated
planning process of Yad Vashem's various monuments reveals the debates  failures and
achievements involved in commemorating the Holocaust. In reading this thought-provoking
description  one learns how Israel's leaders aspired both to fulfill a moral debt towards the
victims of the Holocaust a well as to make Yad Vashem an exclusive center of Holocaust
commemoration both in the Jewish world and beyond.
