A feasibility study identified the three states as potential locations, taking into account factors such as accessibility and the existence of other memorial sites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Establishing a German branch is not about creating a museum but an educational institution, Dayan said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It is more important what happens inside the building than how it looks. A new building is therefore not planned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;What makes Yad Vashem famous is its educational approach,&#8221; he said, adding that the aim is to bring the victims&#8217; perspective to the perpetrators&#8217; home country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Location decision in 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Representatives of Yad Vashem plan to visit the three states in the coming weeks to meet with government officials and civil society, according to Dayan. A decision on the location is expected in the first half of 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The centre, which will employ around 20 staff members, could begin operations two to three years later. It will be open to everyone but will particularly target teachers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Prien expressed her gratitude that Yad Vashem is willing to take this step towards Germany. She said anti-Semitism remains a constant challenge for all educational institutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Teachers need comprehensive professional support,&#8221; she said<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Karin Prien, Germany&#8217;s Minister of Education, Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, presents three potential locations for a Holocaust education center in Germany at a press conference.
