Yad Vashem - Ground of The Building

Ground of The Building

The Yad Vashem memorial is built on the site of two former Palestinian villages of Ein Kerem (of which there remain visible traces) and Deir Yassin.

One of the guides of the memorial, Itamar Shapira, was fired in April 2009, because as he had approached the ruins of the Palestinian village, he spoke to a yeshiva students of the massacre of Deir Yassin.
