About the Holocaust
About the Holocaust explores the history of the Holocaust thematically and chronologically. Each chapter in the narrative is divided into subchapters with explanatory texts. Useful related resources accompany the texts and may include photos, video testimonies, documentary footage, documents, artifacts and art.
What is the story behind a seemingly mundane photograph taken in the street before World War II? What happened to the women featured in this photograph from the Holocaust period? What is this building in flames, and what became of the Jews in that city?
The Yad Vashem collections form the world's most extensive archival repository on the subject of the Holocaust. There is a story behind every photograph, every work of art, every letter, every object: the story of an individual, a family, a community.
