Definitely you have to visit once Yad Vashem to understand the horror of WW2. It makes you deeply sad and highly angry about the ignorance of some people. Specially for some German Idiots it should b… Full review by rogerfz
I am currently planning my visit here in September. Is there anything close by that I should also plan in whilst I am here, as I believe it is a 30 minute bus from my Air bnb. Any good restaurants or markets close by? Thanks!
A:
I don't think I would combine this with anything else to see or visit. It is quite impactful, and all I wanted to do after visiting was to sit somewhere quiet and think.
does it cover the aspect of the world american jewish congress calling for a boycott of germany in march 1933? does it show how jews learned from the nazi failure to complete the final solution to the jewish question and applied these lessons in their holocaust against the palestinian people?
A:
No I don't think so. That's probably in the US Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.
For older family who cannot walk - I know there is a shuttle (but not too often) - from the parking lot near the traffic circle on Hertzl blvd down the road to the entrance. Is it possible to drive into the entrance to drop people off? I see there is parking right at the entrance to the site on HaZikaron street - is that only for buses or employees?
A:
When we were there the cars were dropping people off at the front enterance and then parking in the parking lots.
I will be in Israel with and 11 year old and a 13 year. I would love for them to see it (I went almost 10 years ago) but I am worried it may not be suitable. The website says age 10 and up, has anyone taken children recently? Do you think it is worth them seeing or should we skip it? Thanks

This is a difficult location for adults to visit; for children it can easily be overwhelming. The path of the visit through the main Yad Vashem building can't be short circuited - you must walk through from beginning to end once you enter. Everything about the Holocaust - both verbal and visual - will be on display as you walk through. You are the only one who can judge whether your children are ready for that immersion into history. That said, there are outdoor grounds, a memorial to the Righteous, a children's memorial, and a hall of remembrance, all of which offer the opportunity to teach and discuss without the photos and films of the Holocaust's brutality. I would also consider starting with books such as Number the Stars (Lois Lowry) or the graphic adaptation of Diary of Anne Frank and see how they react.
What is the easiest & fastest way to get from Tel Aviv to Yad Vashem & back to Tel Aviv? We were not planning to rent a car during our visit to Israel.
A:
You can take a bus from Tel Aviv Bus Station to Jerusalem Bus Station and the the Tram up til Yad Vashem - Herzl Boulevard - the tram ends at Yad Vashem. - you just go a few meters …
You can take a bus from Tel Aviv Bus Station to Jerusalem Bus Station and the the Tram up til Yad Vashem - Herzl Boulevard - the tram ends at Yad Vashem. - you just go a few meters back and then to the left - you will see the big signs. Kind regards, Otto
