Yad Chaim Weizmann
Yad Chaim Weizmann was established by the Government of Israel and the World Zionist Organization on June 15, 1954. It is dedicated to the preservation of the memory and heritage of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the first President of the State of Israel.
Yad Chaim Weizmann is responsible for the Weizmann Archive, which keeps all Dr. Weizmann's writings as well as tens of thousands of documents and items of correspondence with statesmen and important figures from all over the world. Weizmann House is surrounded by the 12.5-acre Weizmann Estate, which includes parkland, the graves of Dr. Chaim and Dr. Vera Weizmann, and the Memorial Plaza featuring a monument by Dani Karavan honoring Holocaust victims.
