Displays At The NLI

The Memorial Wall for the Murdered and Fallen

Soon after October 7, 2023, the National Library of Israel made the decision to create a "Memorial Wall for the Murdered and Fallen" within its newly-opened building. 

This memorial display, featuring the images and names of the murdered civilians and fallen IDF soldiers on and since October 7, 2023, is projected on a giant 20-meter long screen.

The Library has received numerous requests from communities in Israel and around the world, asking whether a similar display might be available for use in memorial ceremonies marking one year since the October 7 massacre. In ligth of this, we have made the memorial wall printable and free for download.

Every Hostage Has A Story

The hostages held in Gaza are not just names and numbers. They are people, with their own hobbies, loved ones and hopes for the future. Our exhibit, "Every Hostage Has A Story," features dozens of black chairs, alongside colorful chairs for cildren and even a baby chair. The chairs are arranged in the reading hall (level -2), each with a photo of a hostage placed on it, as well as a book they love or have a connection to.

Some of the hostages have returned home, and we've had the privilege of removing their chairs and books from the display. Many are still held in captivity by Hamas terrorists. We do not forget them.
