The Last March
The Last March, Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel
Today is Yom Ha'Shoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. It is on this day that Jews around the world remember the 6 million Jews who died at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators. Nearly half of the Jewish people in the world were wiped out during this cruel genocide.
"The Last March", at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, depicts the mass deportation of Jews to the Nazi death camps. Yad Vashem is a memorial and museum dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Additionally, righteous Gentiles who risked their lives to save Jews (like Oskar Schindler and Raoul Wallenberg) are honored in the Garden of the Righteous at Yad Vashem.
