The largest holocaust museum in Haifa will soon be inaugurated in the Kiryat HaShesed of the Yad Ezer Shevre association
The new holocaust museum is one of the few in the world that exhibits items from living survivors, who live in the "Beit HaHam" and who themselves tell the story of their lives and escape from the camps to visitors.
Shimon Sabag: "I see them all year round, I see the survivors in the most beautiful moments at the end of their lives, but I am awake and attentive to the tragedy they went through in their youth", this is how the CEO of the Yad Ezer Association, Shimon Sabag, chose to address the general public ahead of the International Holocaust Day ceremony that will be held in Yad Yad For utilization, at the association's hot house on Kessel Street in the Hadar neighborhood in Haifa on Sunday, January 28.01.2018, 15 at 00:XNUMX p.m.
Hundreds of soldiers, policemen, students, teenagers and hundreds of Holocaust survivors will participate in the ceremony this year. By their side will be guests of honor from all over the public avenue, among others ministers, mayors, ambassadors, consuls and a long line of Knesset members and ministers. The guest of honor at the ceremony will be Mrs. Sara Netanyahu, who over the years has become a darling of the association and a passionate supporter of aid to Holocaust survivors.
"Mrs. Netanyahu's arrival at the ceremony shows the warm relationship forged between her and the survivors who live in our Beit Ha'am and especially the humanitarian aid she provides all year round to Holocaust survivors," said Sebag.
At the special ceremony, Mrs. Sarah Netanyahu, members of the Knesset, mayors, and of course the CEO and founder of the association will speak. Its culmination will be the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the inauguration of the "Holocaust and Resurrection Museum". They live with us and live in the "Beit HaHam" of the Yad Ezer Association for a Friend. The highlight of the museum is the fact that the living survivors tell their stories to visitors firsthand.
Sabag also said: "Hearing a Holocaust survivor who lived in Beit Ha'am tell how he survived, what happened to him and his family, and all of this is happening here at our museum, is a difficult experience, but important and fascinating for preserving the memory and this painful part of the history of the Jewish people," Sabag said. He added that the exhibits displayed in the museum are authentic.
The museum's curator and designer Tami Siner, who herself was the daughter of Holocaust survivors from Auschwitz, talks about the difficulties in choosing the exhibits and the emotional difficulty in designing the museum in general.
Tami Siner: "It's not easy, but my background helped me design every corner in such a way that it would present the terrible pain and suffering that the Jewish people went through in the camps. It took time and required a lot of mental strength and knowledge, but the mission and the goal were important so that we overcome everything." She further added: "We carefully selected the exhibits from among the hundreds of exhibits that came to us. We gave priority to the exhibits of Holocaust survivors who live in Beit Ha'am." Sabag emphasized "I have no doubt that the association's museum will become a pilgrimage center for hundreds and thousands of students every month. The museum is open to the general public."
The Yad Ezer association, which operates the hot house in the Hadar neighborhood in Haifa, shelters on Kessel Street about a hundred Holocaust survivors who are close to 100 years old. It provides them with high-quality housing with all the conditions, medical accompaniment and social care, three meals a day and social activities. At the same time, the association provides hot meals for many Holocaust survivors in the north who do not live in the shelter. The association also helps the needy homeless, single mothers and more.
