Many of the distinguished guests who have come to Yad Vashem over the years, have stopped and signed the Visitors' Book, sharing their immediate reactions to what they have seen and experienced at Yad Vashem. Presented here are some of the meaningful parting thoughts that fill our Visitors' Books.

 

 

Former Egyptian President

Anwar Sadat  20.11.77

May God guide our steps towards peace.

Let us end all suffering for mankind.

 

Former US President Bill Clinton 28.10.94

Today we stand one step closer to the time

when the people of Israel live in peace with their neighbors, when the awful events here

memorialized will be buried in the past, when

the people of Israel never suffer and die simply because of their race and faith. May God bring it to pass.

Prime Minister United Kingdom

Tony Blair 19.4.98

This is my second visit here. I have never

forgotten the first time. I shall never forget this.

The torment and anguish of the Jewish people

in the Holocaust are the most vivid expression of the suffering humanity has known. But your courage, determination, and essential dignity through this agony and since, also describe humanity’s best chance of hope for the future.

We will never forget or if we do, we will repeat

the mistakes and tragedies of history.
