before your eyes.

The museum is comprised of eight unique Orde Wingate Exhibit in the Hall of the Brave
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.
