Yad Vashem

Yad Vashem, a sprawling educational center in Jerusalem, was entrusted with documenting the history of the Jewish people during the Holocaust, with preserving the story and memory of each individual victim, and with imparting the legacy of the Holocaust for generations to come.

Genesis is supporting a four-year effort to translate educational and reference materials into Russian in a number of relevant areas, such as the War in the East and the Extermination of Jews, Jewish Literature in the Soviet Union during the Holocaust, and Jews' Participation in the Soviet Partisan Movement.

With this grant Genesis contributes to the disseminations of Holocaust studies in the Russian-speaking Jewish community worldwide. Online accessibility of the materials will provide both Russian-speaking Jewish students and educators with access to a wealth of information about crucial events in the history of the Jewish people.
