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.

“All I’m telling you is that that little creature in there has as much right to live as you do. Don’t forget, you invaded his world. You sank a pipe six miles into the ground and when he climbed up you set dogs on him, shot him.”
—Richard Fielding, and Lee Sholem. Superman (George Reeves)
“The Times are the masquerade of the eternities; trivial to the dull, tokens of noble and majestic agents to the wise; the receptacle in which the Past leaves its history; the quarry out of which the genius of today is building up the Future.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
