On 8 May, the new Learning Center, otherwise known as “Reflections After the Holocaust,” was inaugurated in the presence of Minister of Health Danny Naveh MK and donors Sam and Stella Skura (USA). Part of the new Museum Complex, the Center is designed for visitors to embark on a journey of personal inquiry, dealing with basic questions such as: What makes the Holocaust a unique event? What happened to the concepts of good and evil after the Holocaust? and Why did the Allies not bomb Auschwitz? At individual terminals or in a group conference area, visitors can see, hear and read opinions from an array of survivors, researchers, thinkers and others.
