Established in 1953 by an act of the Knesset (Israeli Parliament), Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, is entrusted with Holocaust commemoration, documentation, research and education: remembering the six million Jews murdered by the German Nazis and their collaborators; commemorating the destroyed Jewish communities, the ghetto and resistance fighters; and honoring the Righteous Among the Nations who risked their lives to rescue Jews during the Holocaust.

PM Modi said that his talks with Israeli President Issac Herzog were fruitful and wide-ranging.

Herzog also said that India and Israel are stronger together.

In a post on X, PM Modi said, "Glimpses from the meeting with President Herzog. Our talks were extremely fruitful and wide-ranging."

There is immense scope in futuristic areas such as technology, innovation, StartUps and more. My gratitude to you for supporting the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' (A tree for Mother) initiative."
