Ghetto Fighters' House, Holocaust and resistance heritage museum in Lohamei HaGeta'ot, Israel.
The Ghetto Fighters' House is a museum documenting Jewish resistance during the Holocaust in Lohamei HaGeta'ot in northern Israel. The building contains multiple exhibition floors showing artifacts, photographs, and personal documents that tell this history.
The museum was founded in 1949 by Holocaust survivors, including Yitzhak Zuckerman who was involved in Warsaw Ghetto resistance efforts. It became the world's first Holocaust memorial museum and set the model for how such institutions would develop elsewhere.
The name honors those who resisted oppression in the ghettos during the Holocaust. Visitors today can see how this resistance is documented and remembered through the exhibits on display.
The museum sits between Acre and Nahariya on the northwestern coast and is easily reached by car. Visitors should allow time to move through multiple floors and should be aware that the content is emotionally challenging.
A dedicated section honors children who died during the Holocaust through specialized presentation methods. This area connects younger visitors with the history in a way that is appropriate for their age and understanding.
