Chamber of the Holocaust, Holocaust museum on Mount Zion, Jerusalem, Israel
The Chamber of the Holocaust contains ten exhibition rooms with memorial plaques, artifacts, and religious items from concentration camps across Europe.
Israel's first Holocaust museum, established in 1949 by Rabbi Dr. Samuel Zangvil Kahane and the Ministry of Religion of the new State of Israel.
Memorial services take place in the museum when survivors gather to commemorate the anniversaries of their destroyed communities through prayers and candle lighting.
