Yad Vashem will establish a Holocaust Education Center in Munich, Germany, strengthening its global outreach to advance Holocaust education and remembrance. The center’s location was chosen after an extensive nationwide survey and rigorous field research, with support from the German government.
This new Education Center, Yad Vashem’s first outside Israel, will be established at Karolinenplatz in central Munich, Bavaria. Munich was chosen for its strategic location and educational landscape, making it an ideal base for Holocaust education. Together with Yad Vashem’s expertise in remembrance, documentation, and teaching, the center is designed to have the greatest possible educational reach and impact. While located in Munich, it is intended to serve as a national platform for audiences across Germany and neighboring countries.
Yad Vashem will also offer to open an extension of its Education Center in Leipzig, Saxony, which will feature interactive learning spaces and will reach out to educators throughout the region and in neighboring countries.
In addition, Yad Vashem will broaden its long-standing educational partnership with North Rhine-Westphalia to start the process of developing the Yad Vashem Holocaust Education Center into a nationwide cooperation model.
The Education Center is expected to open within three years.
