DAY 12 Jerusalem

Ammunition Hill, Mt Hertzl, Yad Vashem, Sound and Light Show ( Tower of David)

Ammunition Hill

A critical hill taken during the 6 Day war, that opened the way to gaining the old city and ultimately the whole of the Jordanian held “disputed territories”

We arrived at Ammunition Hill at the moment the new recruits were being introduced to the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) for the 2 years (for females) and 3 years (for Men) military service.

Mt. Hertzl

Commemorating the work of Theodore Hertzl in establishing the first Zionist Conference at Basle in 1898, where he initiated the move to finding a national homeland for the Jewish people

Yad Vashem – Holocaust Museum

A brilliant confronting museum detailing the Jewish Holocaust. Well worth a visit again and again.
