We located all the Stations of the Cross with a downloaded walking tour guide. It was a challenge as many are in the Muslim Quarter and not well highlighted.
A trip to Yad Vashem (the Holocaust Memorial) museum was another sobering experience, however amazingly done and very moving. Begun in 1953, it was completely rebuilt in 2005 and now includes many thematic areas as well as a very comprehensive history of the background and events leading to the Holocaust.
The Hall of Names commemorates millions of Jews who perished in the Holocaust. No gravestones or cemeteries exist, and so the names here provide a remembrance of the victims for their families and for the world.
A tree was planted for individual persons who assisted Jews during the Holocaust. It is called the Garden of the Righteous Among the Nations.
We lightened the day with a visit to the food market in the centre of Jerusalem.
