A museum opened in Israel that highlights Jews who fought in World War II.

Jewish Soldiers

Around 1.5 million Jewish soldiers served in World War II. Of those who served, approximately 250,000 lost their lives.

The museum houses artifacts, equipment, and stories that keep the memory of Jewish service in World War II alive for new generations. The museum also houses objects and materials documenting other military conflicts that have shaped Israel's history.
