The National Memorial
(English name, The Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority), Israeli national institution of Holocaust commemoration. The idea of establishing a memorial in Palestine for the Jews who fell victim to the Holocaust was conceived during World War II, when reports were received of the mass murder of Jews in the German - occupied countries. It was first proposed in September 1942, at a board meeting of the Jewish National Fund, by Mordecai Shenhavi, a member of Kibbutz Mishmar ha - Emek. Shenhavi proposed "the commemoration of the Holocaust in the Diaspora, and of the participation of the Jewish people in the Allied armies." He also proposed the name "Yad Vashem" (lit., "a monument and a name"), from Isaiah 56: 5: "I will give them, in my house and in my walls, a monument and a name, better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall never be effaced."
The plan was discussed at a Zionist meeting in London on August 15, 1945, and it was decided to set up a provisional board, made up of the Zionist leaders David Remez (as chairman), Shlomo Zalman Shragai, and Baruch Zuckerman (born in Kurenitz), in addition to Shenhavi. For about a year, negotiations continued between the National Institutions, the Hebrew University, and the Chief Rabbinate of Palestine, centering mostly on the plan's financial and operational aspects. In February 1946, Yad Vashem opened an office in Jerusalem and a branch office in Tel Aviv. On June 1, 1947, it convened its first plenary session, and the following day the plan of "Yad Vashem for the Diaspora" was put on public exhibition. On July 13 and 14, 1947, the First Conference on Holocaust Research was held at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. At the conference it was decided that the Holocaust documentation center would be located in Jerusalem, and that a thirty - one - member council and a scholarly committee would be set up.
