A group of Sudanese refugees who arrived in Israel in wake of the genocide in Darfur will visit Yad Vashem on Monday (Aug. 2nd). The visit is taking place at the initiative of organizations dedicated to assisting refugees who have arrived in Israel since the crisis in Darfur began.
During the course of the visit, the group will tour the Holocaust History Museum, guided by Dr. Robert Rozett, Director of the Yad Vashem Libraries, meet with Avner Shalev, Chairman of Yad Vashem, and hear the story of Sara Pechanac, daughter of Muslim Righteous Among the Nations from Sarajevo, who found refuge in Israel during the war there, converted to Judaism and today works at Yad Vashem.
