The Friends of Zion Museum, located in Jerusalem, is a unique and interactive museum dedicated to showcasing the contributions of non-Jewish supporters of Zionism and the State of Israel. Opened in 2015, the museum highlights the pivotal role played by individuals who, despite not being Jewish, significantly aided the Jewish people and the establishment of Israel.
What makes the Friends of Zion Museum special is its focus on these often-overlooked allies. Through advanced multimedia displays, holograms, and immersive experiences, visitors are introduced to key historical figures such as Oskar Schindler, Winston Churchill, and Harry Truman. These exhibitions underscore the global dimension of Zionism, illustrating how international support was crucial to the Zionist movement and the founding of Israel.
The museum’s importance lies in its comprehensive narrative that spans from the 19th to the 20th century, detailing the geopolitical, social, and humanitarian efforts that bolstered the Zionist cause. By presenting these stories, the Friends of Zion Museum fosters a deeper understanding of the diverse and global support network that helped realize the dream of a Jewish homeland. It serves not only as a repository of history but also as a tribute to the solidarity and courage that transcended religious and cultural boundaries, contributing to the establishment and ongoing support of the State of Israel.
The museum is located at downtown Jerusalem, at Yosef Rivlin St 20
