The Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial is honoring astronaut Ilan Ramon with a special exhibit. Among the items that will be displayed is “Moon Landscape,” a drawing by Petr Ginz, who was killed in Auschwitz at the age of 16. Ramon took a replica of the drawing, which depicts how the earth would look from the surface of the moon, when he flew off into space last month.
