Beit Ha'edut - Holocaust Remembrabce

In the heart of the pastoral village Nir Galim stands The Testimony House, a small and intimate museum about Holocaust and Revival. The exhibitions include original items alongside art effects created by Holocaust survivors. The most impressive part is the Glass House interactive exhibition which tells the amazing story of the biggest rescue operation in the Holocaust, which took place in Budapest

Reviewed By bfindysz - Jerusalem District, Israel

This museum/memorial was established to heighten public awareness of what the Budapest Jewish community experienced during the Holocaust and how large numbers of Hungarian Jewry were saved by the fearless assistance of local Jews as well as foreign diplomats. One of the safe houses which helped shelter and protect Jews was an old industrial building called the Glass House. This museum focuses on its activities. Multi-media presentation. We had a guide as well. The location of the museum is part of its message: Hungarian Jews who survived came to Israel and set up a farming community which bears witness to their stubborn struggle against all odds.

The Circassian Museum Zoher

The Circassian Museum invites visitors to discover a hidden world within easy reach.This is an ethnographic museum about the Circassian culture.The Circassian people who originated in the Caucasus Mountains experienced genocide in the 18th century and half of the people were murdered and the other half expelled and settled throughout the Middle East and Turkey. m

Less than half an hour from Tiberias lies Kfar Kama, one of two Circassian villages in Israel where the Circassian way of life, tradition and language are being preserved. A combination of film, guided tour and erudite explanations about the language, heritage and history of this nation without land (sounds familiar?) since its expulsion from the Caucuses by the Russians in 1864, makes a visit to this museum a varied and fascinating throughout. The visit to the Museum includes a walk around the village itself, beautifully preserved, clean and oh so quiet. There are about 5000 Circassians in Israel today. I would urge anyone with an interest in the minorities living in Israel, their customs and aspirations, to avail themselves of this most enlightening and interesting experience.

Meiri House Museum

Reviewed By jsavElizabeth

The Meiri family are a 6-generation Tzfat family who also own a boutique cheese factory near this museum. Their family pictures and the pictures and artifacts of their friends and neighbors throughout the years from approx. 1837 through the early and middle 1900s are in this museum. There are some rooms designed similarly to how real rooms might have looked and samples of clothing worn by real people over the years. There is furniture, household utensils and machines, and other daily life artifacts that give a visitor the feeling that he/she has become part of Tzfat's history. This is an intimate, smaller museum, but you can easily spend 1-2 hours exploring it.

Tel-Hai

Reviewed By theresel833 - Cobleskill, United States

An important, but sad, story of the early days of Israel. Very emotional, and the site expresses the sadness. There are restrooms available near the parking lot.
