Yad Vashem: In Memory of a Holocaust

Yad Vashem Candelabra - 

The six branches represent the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust

Established in 1953 by an act of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament), Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, is entrusted with the task of commemorating, documenting, researching and educating about the Holocaust: remembering the six million Jews murdered by the German Nazis and their collaborators, the destroyed Jewish communities, and the ghetto and resistance fighters; and honoring the Righteous Among the Nations who risked their lives to rescue Jews during the Holocaust. Yad Vashem encompasses 45 acres on the Mount of Remembrance in Jerusalem and is comprised of various museums, research and education centers, monuments and memorials. Among these are the Museum Complex, the Hall of Remembrance, the Valley of the Communities and the Children’s Memorial.

The Monument to the children in Yad Vashem is located at Yad Vashem, Israel. It was erected in 1987 in remembrance of children killed during the reign of the Nazi Party in the German Reich.^[1][2]

In the memorial's entrance area, there are several white, broken-off stelae of different heights as a symbol for the lives broken off by the Nazis.^[1]
