An Evaluation of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum

View through CrossRef
This study examines to what extent a visit to the major Israeli Holocaust memorial/museum, Yad Vashem, affected the attitudes and knowledge of Israeli high school students. A total of 281 students completed questionnaires measuring general knowledge of the Holocaust, the impor tance of the Holocaust, views related to the Holocaust, and the connection between the Holocaust and attitudes about current issues. Results showed that the visit had little effect on attitudes and no effect on knowledge. Implications for museums as interventions and the use of formal evaluations in these settings are discussed.
