Secretary-General António Guterres of the United Nations is scheduled to visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial institution in Jerusalem on Monday.
He will tour the Holocaust History Museum, participate in a memorial ceremony in the Hall of Remembrance, visit the Children's Memorial and sign the Yad Vashem Guest Book. Following the signing, the Secretary-General will meet with expert staff from the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem regarding the ongoing joint initiative "Keeping the Memory Alive-Our Shared Responsibility" International Poster Competition, a shared venture between Yad Vashem, the Holocaust and the United Nations Outreach Program and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. The winning posters will be displayed around the world in various high-profile governmental, civic and educational settings, including parliaments and UN offices. This is just one example of the cooperative programs Yad Vashem conducts with the United Nations and its agencies to further Holocaust commemoration and education worldwide.
