They met with Senior Historian at the International Institute for Holocaust Research Dr. David Silberklang, and received a behind-the-scenes tour of the Archives from Archives Division Director Dr. Haim Gertner, Fred Hillman Chair for Holocaust Documentation (left).
As well as touring the Holocaust History Museum and Children's Memorial, they attended an unveiling ceremony in their honour.
In attendance were (from left to right): Abe Goldberg, Warren Fineberg, Johnny Baker, President of the Australian Friends of Yad Vashem Joey Borensztajn and his wife Julie.
"As Yad Vashem educates so many Australians," Andrew commented, "this is the one place where I do not see any dichotomy between supporting both local and overseas needs."
They also visited their plaque on the donor wall of the new extension to the Memorial Cave as well as the exhibition marking 50 years of Honouring the Righteous Among the Nations.
