Hall of Remembrance in Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Center
The article penned by Maj. Gen (res.) Gershon Hacohen, published, 5 Jan 2021 under the title “Yad Vashem at a Crossroads,” discusses two fundamental questions and Yad Vashem’s position regarding them. However, the serious accusations made against Yad Vashem as being an institution that is actively denying the “Israeli Jewish spirit” â are not only unknown to me and my colleagues at Yad Vashem, many of whom I have worked with for dozens of years, they simply are untrue, and anyone who is familiar with Yad Vashem’s positions, activities and goals, cannot but reject them out of hand.
