September 5, 1972.
11 members of Israelโs Olympic delegation went to Munich to represent their country. They never came home.
They were murdered by Black September, a Palestinian terrorist organization linked to the PLO.
54 years later, we remember them - and remain unwavering in our fight against terrorism. ๐ฏ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ

Today we remember chemistry laureate Ada Yonath who passed away yesterday at the age of 87.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the chemical foundations for life were a mystery. Today we know how many of the most important processes function, all the way down to the atomic level. This is due in part to the work of biochemist, Ada Yonath.
In the 1970s, Yonath began a project that culminated in 2000 with her successful mapping (together with other researchers) of the structure of ribosomes โ the cellโs own protein factory โ by using x-ray crystallography. Among other applications, this has been important in the production of antibiotics.
In 2009, Yonath shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Venkatraman Ramakrishnan and Thomas Steitz for studies of the structure and function of the ribosome.

We, the Weizmann Institute of Science community, deeply mourn the passing of Prof. Ada Yonath of the Instituteโs Chemical and Structural Biology Department. Prof. Yonath pioneered the study of the ribosome, the cellโs protein factory, and was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her research in this field. Her decades-long scientific journey led to an understanding of how various antibiotics work, helping pave the way for the development of new antibiotics and the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Yonath, the first Israeli woman scientist to win a Nobel Prize, also received dozens of other awards and honors, including the Israel Prize in Chemistry and the Wolf Prize in Chemistry. Prof. Yonath exemplified how scientific vision, the courage to choose a major scientific question and unwavering dedication to its pursuit can lead to extraordinary achievements and expand the boundaries of knowledge for the future of humanity.
May her memory be a blessing.

I was fortunate to meet Saadia Bahat during his visit to Vilnius in 2022. He is an extraordinary individual whose life stands as a testament to resilience and the power to rebuild. Saadia survived the horrors of the #Holocaust immigrated to Israel, built a loving family and became an engineer @Israel defense industry @RAFAEL_defence
#YomHashoah
Each year during the #YomHashoah Ceremony, 6 torches are lit in memory of the 6 million Jews murdered in Holocaust
Holocaust survivor Saadia Bahat has just lit the first torch; watch his story

January 27 is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
We remember the six million Jews murdered and reaffirm our commitment to confront all kinds of antisemitism everywhere.
Never forget.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day which marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau #OTD in 1945.
Auschwitz was established by the Nazis in 1940 on the outskirts of the Polish city of Oลwiฤcim. Its first commander was Rudolf Hรถss.
As the Final Solution progressed, Heinrich Himmler ordered the construction of a second camp, Birkenau, and by March 1942, systematic extermination had begun. Four extermination facilities were built, equipped with gas chambers and crematoria.
Jews from across Europe were deported to the camp. Upon arrival, they underwent a selection process. Most were sent directly to the gas chambers, and a small number were selected for forced labor, either within the main camp or in Auschwitzโs sub-camps. Some prisoners were also subjected to brutal medical experiments.
Over one million Jews were murdered at Birkenau, as well as 70,000 Poles, 25,000 Sinti and Roma, approximately 15,000 Soviet prisoners of war, and thousands of others.
Explore our many resources related to the camp, including online exhibitions, artifacts, educational materials, video testimonies, and more >>
