The Knesset passed the Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Law, establishing Yad Vashem as Israel’s Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Authority. The law directed the institution to commemorate Jewish victims and resisters and preserve the names of destroyed communities and institutions. Its scope includes not only death but Jewish resistance, communal life, and the destruction of cultural worlds.
