visitors experience the unfolding story as The Jerusalem March in front of the FOZ Museum
though stepping back in time.

Presented in over a dozen languages, the
museum is a once-in-a-lifetime experience
for audiences from around the world.
Visitors enter a whole new world, where the
interactive exhibits on giant touch screens,
high-fidelity surround sound, incredible
animation, three-dimensional projection
create displays that appear to come to life
before your eyes.

The museum is comprised of eight unique
spaces that highlight the contribution of
Christian Zionists to the State of Israel and
the Jewish People. Among the stories told
are that of John Henry Dunant, first winner
of the Nobel Peace Prize and founder of
the International Red Cross, whom Herzl
called the first Christian Zionist; and also
Amsterdam’s ten Boom family who protected
Jews amidst the horrors of WWII. Amazing
stories abound of people of great vision who
stood beside the Jewish nation, friends of
Israel such as US President Harry Truman
and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.
You’ll be inspired by stories of men and
women who risked their lives to save Jews,
such as Oskar Schindler, Irena Sendler and
Raoul Wallenberg. Their stories are displayed
on a "shattered" wall as the audience is swept
inside the animated presentation ending with
a "first-hand" experience highlighting the
responsibility each person holds for the fate
of his fellow man.
