About Us
Yad Vashem USA Foundation is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides vital support for Yad Vashem, The World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Jerusalem. As the leading center of Holocaust documentation, research, education, and commemoration, Yad Vashem strives to preserve the legacy of the victims and survivors while conveying the chronicles of this singular Jewish and human event to audiences around the world.
Three generations have come into being since the end of World War II. The presence of witnesses – the remnant who survived – has always ensured a certain moral strength; their increasing absence creates a moral, cultural, and educational vacuum.
Holocaust commemoration remains critically relevant and meaningful in today’s world. As we navigate these contemporary challenges, Yad Vashem emphasizes the importance of educating younger generations about the Holocaust. By creating a dialogue between the past, present, and future, Yad Vashem ensures that the memories of those murdered are honored and that future generations learn valuable lessons from history.
Through its unique perspective and by highlighting individual voices from testimonies, diaries, artifacts, and other documentation, Yad Vashem continues to pave the way for a better future.
The Yad Vashem USA Foundation is proud to support Yad Vashem in advancing its mission and passing the torch of remembrance from survivors to future generations, promoting awareness, and fostering a world where such atrocities are never repeated.
Join us to educate, remember, and inspire.
