One of the centre's museums tracks the escalation of anti-Semitic feeling in Germany, which was to culminate in Hitler's "Final Solution" for the Jews. A second exhibition features artwork from concentration camp internees and Jewish artists. The visible side of Yad Vashem's massive historical archive can be witnessed in the Hall of Names, a project attempting to record the name and photograph of each victim in a library of remembrance. Visitors can access the files for research purposes.

The exterior exhibits include memorials to the adults and children of the Shoah, as well as a replica of the Warsaw Ghetto Fighters memorial. An avenue of trees marks a homage to those, like Oscar Schindler and Raul Wallenberg, who fought against all odds to save the Jews. Other works by contemporary artists include elements from history - a six-branched candelabra represents the six million dead, while an original box-car donated by the Polish Railways hangs over the forests of this Hill of Remembrance, to remind us that human evil is never-ending.

Children under ten years of age are not permitted to enter the museum.
