The Holocaust History Museum is part of Yad Vashem, Israel's official Holocaust memorial, on the western slope of Mount Herzl in western Jerusalem. The Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie designed it. Planning began in 1993 and the museum opened on March 15, 2005, replacing one that opened in 1973. The article names no owner beyond Yad Vashem, no construction start and no style.
The building is a triangular concrete prism cutting through the landscape. A skylight 200 meters long runs its length, and a long corridor connects ten exhibition halls. The galleries are underground and visitors follow a set route. Exhibits tell the stories of 90 victims and survivors and show about 2,500 personal items.
Yad Vashem charges no admission. The Mt Herzl stop on the Jerusalem Light Rail Red Line serves it. The article gives no hours.
