Shem Olam/ שם עולם

The Shem Olam Institute has harnessed itself and others to carry out research using historical scientific tools, while uncovering documents and unfamiliar sources relating to the world of values, faith, religious and spiritual life, which focus attention on coping in the Holocaust. Shem Olam is harnessing its research to the field of education, with accent on the unearthly reality of a vast portion of Jews living in darkness and the shadow of death, in a world surrounded by inhumanity. To this end, the three departments of education, documentation and research were established to provide a combined response to the task.
