Yitzhak Rabin Center

This guide to the Yitzhak Rabin Center in Tel Aviv starts underground, with a secret Cold War-era power station built into this hill in the 1950s and buried in official silence. It follows the story forward to November 1995, when Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin left a peace rally in the square that now bears his name and was shot by an extremist opposed to the accords he had signed. You'll hear how architect Moshe Safdie approached the building above that hidden bunker, borrowing construction techniques from shipbuilders. Look up before you go inside.
