Editing Yad Vashem (section)

==Etymology==
The name "Yad Vashem" is taken from a verse in the [[Book of Isaiah]] ([[Isaiah 56#Verse 5|56:5]]):
"[To] them will I give in my house and within my walls a [memorial] and a [name], better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting [name], that shall not be cut off [from memory]."

Naming the Holocaust memorial "yad vashem" ({{langx|he|יָד וָשֵׁם}}, ''yād wā-šêm'', literally "a memorial and a name") conveys the idea of establishing a national depository for the names of Jewish victims who have no one to carry their name after death. The original verse referred to [[eunuch]]s who, although they could not have children, could still live for eternity with the Lord.<ref name=Margalit>{{cite book |last=Margalit |first=Avishai |title=The Ethics of Memory |publisher=Harvard University Press |year=2002 |url={{Google books |plainurl=yes |id=HHG5mRuVXN4C |page=22 }} |access-date=25 February 2014}}</ref>
