Yad la-Banim

Yad la-Banim, Memorial museum in Beersheba, Israel.

Yad la-Banim is a memorial building in Beersheba's Civic Center, next to the city hall and separated from it by a large plaza. Its walls are made of faceted pillars that narrow toward the top and end in a series of roofs holding the windows. The ground floor is dedicated to remembrance, with black basalt columns supporting a glass dome and a memorial hall containing the sculpture "Seven Shofars" by Nahshon Rimer of Kibbutz Urim.

The museum was founded in 1983 to honor soldiers from Beersheba who lost their lives in various military conflicts. The institution was created to preserve and document the memory of these fallen for future generations.

The memorial hall holds albums of remembrance arranged alphabetically, each fallen soldier given a page with a photograph and biographical details on parchment scrolls. A memorial candle in the room of remembrance burns for a month from the Hebrew date of each soldier's death. The 570 names appear on black basalt columns beneath a glass dome.

The building stands in the Civic Center next to Beersheba's City Hall, separated from it by a large plaza. The main entrance faces the plaza with the bronze monument by Paula Ovadia; the rear entrance holds the memorial to the double suicide bombing of 31 August 2004. The memorial rooms are on the ground floor, the auditorium on the second and a 100-seat hall on the third.

The building is the largest Yad la-Banim memorial house in Israel, ahead of those in Haifa and Jerusalem. Its walls are shaped like faceted columns that narrow toward the top and end in a series of roofs holding the windows. At the main entrance stands a bronze sculpture by Paula Ovadia commemorating Holocaust survivors and victims of terror.
