The Uniqueness of the Yad Vashem Museum’s Artifacts Collection

The Artifacts Collection at the Yad Vashem Museum is a vast mosaic of personal memories. The Collection’s uniqueness lies in the extent of its contents and the manner in which the items were collected. Most of the artifacts are connected to the biographies of people who personally experienced the Holocaust, and so the story behind the artifact usually reveals the fate of its owner.  In this way the artifacts give faces and names to the victims of the Holocaust, both those who perished and those who survived.
