Mount Zion
Mount Zion
(
transliteration
: Har Tziyyon) is the name of a hill in
Jerusalem
just outside the walls of the Old City. The term "Zion" became a
synecdoche
referring to the entire city of Jerusalem and the Land of Israel. Important sites on Mount Zion today are
Dormition Abbey
, King
David's Tomb
and the
Room of the Last Supper
. The Chamber of the Holocaust (Martef Hashoah), the precursor of
Yad Vashem
is also located on Mount Zion. Other places of interest are the Christian cemetery where
Oskar Schindler
, a
Righteous Gentile
who saved the lives of 1,200 Jews in the
Holocaust
, is buried.
