Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 11, 2006, members of the Pensioners Party, led by Minister Rafi Eitan, will visit the new Museum Complex at Yad Vashem, and learn about the International School for Holocaust Studies educational activity. Party members are coming to Yad Vashem in advance of the opening of a new department in the Ministry that will address the needs of Holocaust survivors.
