Ground of The Building
The Yad Vashem memorial is built on the site of two former Palestinian villages of Ein Kerem (of which there remain visible traces) and Deir Yassin.
One of the guides of the memorial, Itamar Shapira, was fired in April 2009, because as he had approached the ruins of the Palestinian village, he spoke to a yeshiva students of the massacre of Deir Yassin.

Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or building:
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 10:29.
“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
