MiSho'a liTkuma Museum - Yad Mordechai

The story of the Jewish people in the diaspora and the Land of Israel, from the end of the 19th century to the establishment of the State, is told at the “From Holocaust to Resurrection” Museum, the Battle of 1948 site and the Anielewicz Memorial. The sites place a special emphasis on the 1948 battle at Yad Mordechai and the southern front and on Mordechai Anielewicz, the Warsaw Ghetto uprising commander after whom the Kibbutz is named, the Warsaw Ghetto and the uprising that took place there. All the commemoration are situated within kibbutz Yad Mordechai and fit into the kibbutz’s landscape.
