Who you will help

Beit Haedut, in Nir Galim, is a museum and educational centre established to commemorate the Holocaust. The museum serves as a powerful symbol of resilience - it was built by Holocaust survivors almost 30 years ago. Every year, Beit Haedut hosts 10,000s of students, soldiers, officers and others who come to learn about the the atrocities in this dark period of Jewish history, connect more deeply with the subject, and meet survivors.

Your donation will fund 

Recently, JNF helped fund the construction of an open-air exhibit at the museum, allowing visitors to enter an actual train car used in the transportation of Jews to the extermination camps. There is now an opportunity to add to this project with the creation of a hologram viewing room. This new feature will give visitors a chance for an experiential lesson that allow for a deeper understanding of history. Today it is difficult to recruit elderly witnesses to speak to the youth about their holocaust experiences. In order to make up for this, survivors have been filmed and their testimonies used to create holograms that can make up for the lack of their presence.
