Staff at Jerusalem’s Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum went on strike Thursday over a wage dispute for the first time in the institution’s seven-decade history.
The museum remained open to visitors despite the daylong strike, a spokeswoman said.
She said it was “regrettable” that the workers union went ahead with the strike despite the fact that a solution was within reach, with 95% of the fiscal issues in dispute already resolved.
Yad Vashem, which was inaugurated in 1953, is the second-most-visited Israeli tourist site, after the Western Wall.
