Mount Zion
Mount Ziontransliteration: 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.
