Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Yad Vashem is a memorial to the Holocaust that claimed the lives of six million European Jews. Yas Vashem is a graphic series of displays which bring the attention of visitors back to history, which can never be forgotten. Inspecting Yad Vashem takes several hours, it's a return to Hitler's Germany.

Required visit for anyone interested in learning about the Jewish People or specifically the Holocaust.
Even if you visited years ago, the newer curated exhibits are much more accessible than the old museum.

Definitely you have to visit once Yad Vashem to understand the horror of WW2. It makes you deeply sad and highly angry about the ignorance of some people. Specially for some German Idiots it should be mandatory (I myself am German).

Yad Vashem is a memorial to those Jews who perished in the Holocaust and those who resisted the Nazi regime. It also commemorates the Righteous Among the Gentiles, those non-Jews who risked their lives to save their neighbors. Yad Vashem is a humbling experience. Only the Western Wall has more visitors. Yad Vashem should not be missed. Entry is free.

Free tickets to enter but you have to book in advance (the night before was fine). You pay for car parking. Excellent exhibition, in chronological order, especially the videos of holocaust survivors talking about their experiences. So much to read you could spend all day here but we spent 2 hours. Our teenagers also found it interesting and it’s so important for everyone to understand what happened as it helps you understand the whole background to the current nation of Israel. Nice museum shop and amazingly landscaped gardens, sculptures and architecture.

This is a superb museum of Holocaust material and exhibitions. My wife and I spent 6 hours reading and viewing the material. We could have stayed for 2 full days.
The video presentations were excellent.
We also viewed the art museum but did not have enough time to complete it.
We will definitely return.

This museum was incredibly packed while I visited and there was so much to take in. Every exhibit is so thoughtfully presented. The children's memorial is especially overwhelming and emotionally triggering. I would recommend this museum to anyone.

The Holocaust (1933–1945) was the systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million European Jews by the Nazi German regime and its allies. This museum manages to make clear and precise what anti-Semitic hatred was.

Not a place that you can rate but such a phenomenally and thoughtfully set out historical documentation of a time that is so hard to imagine….yet this museum does its best to inform, preserve and respect. You leave with a greater understanding, visually, auditory and emotionally of a variety of experiences of many different people of all faiths, sexual preferences, countries, social classes, ages etc.The curators have not changed history or been biased, but preserved and presented it in a thought provoking and moving way with transcripts, videos, belongings, diaries, films, books, quotes. Be prepared to be moved, take a hanky.

I am currently planning my visit here in September. Is there anything close by that I should also plan in whilst I am here, as I believe it is a 30 minute bus from my Air bnb. Any good restaurants or markets close by?
Thanks!

Please do Yad Vashem and nothing else, after visiting you neither want to eat nor do any leisure sightseeing.

does it cover the aspect of the world american jewish congress calling for a boycott of germany in march 1933?
does it show how jews learned from the nazi failure to complete the final solution to the jewish question and applied these lessons in their holocaust against the palestinian people?
Written 5 July 2020
No I don't think so. That's probably in the US Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.

For older family who cannot walk - I know there is a shuttle (but not too often) - from the parking lot near the traffic circle on Hertzl blvd down the road to the entrance. Is it possible to drive into the entrance to drop people off? I see there is parking right at the entrance to the site on HaZikaron street - is that only for buses or employees?

When we were there the cars were dropping people off at the front enterance and then parking in the parking lots.

I will be in Israel with and 11 year old and a 13 year. I would love for them to see it (I went almost 10 years ago) but I am worried it may not be suitable. The website says age 10 and up, has anyone taken children recently? Do you think it is worth them seeing or should we skip it? Thanks

This is a difficult location for adults to visit; for children it can easily be overwhelming. The path of the visit through the main Yad Vashem building can't be short circuited - you must walk through from beginning to end once you enter. Everything about the Holocaust - both verbal and visual - will be on display as you walk through. You are the only one who can judge whether your children are ready for that immersion into history. That said, there are outdoor grounds, a memorial to the Righteous, a children's memorial, and a hall of remembrance, all of which offer the opportunity to teach and discuss without the photos and films of the Holocaust's brutality. I would also consider starting with books such as Number the Stars (Lois Lowry) or the graphic adaptation of Diary of Anne Frank and see how they react.

ciao a tutti,
sarò a Gerusalemme per Natale.. volevo visitare il monumento...è consigliabile prenotare on line il biglietto??
grazie
Written 1 October 2019
non c'è un biglietto di ingresso, si pagano 12 ils per la piantina in italiano che ti aiuta a girare tutto il museo che è veramente grande. Noi non abbiamo prenotato e quando siamo arrivati c'era veramente tantissima gente ma nel giro di 5 minuti siamo riusciti ad entrare.
si devono lasciare gli zaini al guardaroba.
spero sia sufficiente. buon viaggio!!!!!

What is the easiest & fastest way to get from Tel Aviv to Yad Vashem & back to Tel Aviv? We were not planning to rent a car during our visit to Israel.
Written 28 June 2019
You can take a bus from Tel Aviv Bus Station to Jerusalem Bus Station and the the Tram up til Yad Vashem - Herzl Boulevard - the tram ends at Yad Vashem. - you just go a few meters back and then to the left - you will see the big signs.
Kind regards, Otto
