The word "yad," we learned, can have two meanings. The first is "hand" as in Yad L'Kashish (a hand to the aged). The second is monument as in Yad VaShem, the name of Israel's Holocaust memorial museum.
It's impossible to describe the array of emotions we felt in the museum--shock, anger, sadness, even hope--but the museum gave important details on a story we all know partially but no one knows completely.
Pictures are not allowed in Yad Vashem, but this is a photo of the lobby area on the right (with the tall windows) and the footbridge to the museum on the left (with the triangular facade).
