Yad Chaim Herzog

Yad Chaim Herzog (Hebrew: עמותת יד חיים הרצוג) is an Israeli memorial association (amuta) that preserves and promotes the legacy of Chaim Herzog (1918–1997), the sixth President of the State of Israel (1983–1993). The organization operates a Hebrew-language website that serves as a digital archive and educational resource on Herzog's life and career. Its content covers his early life, his military service in the British Army during World War II, his role in the Israel Defense Forces, his diplomatic career as Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, and his presidency. The association highlights key historical moments, including Herzog's radio broadcasts to the nation before and during the Six-Day War in 1967, and his famous 1975 UN speech against Resolution 3379, which equated Zionism with racism. The website provides access to speeches, interviews, and historical documents, and is intended to educate the public about Herzog's contributions to Israel and the Jewish people. As a non-profit memorial organization, Yad Chaim Herzog does not sell commercial products; its primary offerings are educational and archival resources. The association is based in Israel and operates in Hebrew, with some content available in English.

Yad Chaim Herzog is an Israeli memorial association established to honor the life and legacy of Chaim Herzog, the sixth President of Israel. While the exact founding date is not specified in the available evidence, the organization maintains a website that serves as a comprehensive resource on Herzog's life. The website details his birth on September 17, 1918, and his death on April 17, 1997. It covers his multifaceted career: as an officer in the British Army during World War II, where he participated in the invasion of Nazi Europe and the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp; as an officer in the Israel Defense Forces, where he fought in the Battle of Latrun during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and was a founder of the IDF Intelligence Corps; as Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, where he famously tore up the UN resolution equating Zionism with racism in 1975; and as President of Israel from 1983 to 1993. The association also highlights his radio broadcasts to the nation during the Six-Day War in 1967, which earned him the nickname 'the national comforter.' The website provides access to his speeches, interviews, and historical documents, and includes commentary from historians such as Simon Sebag Montefiore, who included Herzog's 1975 UN speech in his list of '50 Speeches That Changed the World.' The organization's mission is to educate the public about Herzog's contributions to Israel and to preserve his legacy for future generations.
