Museum of the Jewish Soldier in World War II - Martin Lurie

The Museum of the Jewish Soldier in World War II has been built in Israel to tell the important, yet neglected chapter in the history of Jewish people. This is the story of heroism alongside the Holocaust. The Museum shows the contribution of Jewish soldiers from around the world to the defeat of the Nazi regime and its threat to the very existence of the Jewish people.

The museum has been named after the late Haim Herzog, the sixth president of the State of Israel.

The museum honours the 1,500,000 Jewish men and women who were recruited into, or volunteered for the armed forces of the Allies, the Partisans and the resistance movements, as well as perpetuating the memory of the 250,000 Jewish soldiers who gave their lives during the War.

The museum is situated in Latrun, on the main road between Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem., and is a ‘state-of-the-art’ facility, a unique site of its kind in the world, a magnet for visitors and researchers and features an exhibition center that tells the story of the Jewish fighter in World War II, through a study, research and information center,with an extensive archive.

Martin Lurie's contribution to this struggle against the forces of evil is memorialized at the Museum of the Jewish Soldier in World War II.
