The Yitzhak Rabin Center is a library and research center in Tel Aviv, Israel, built in memory of assassinated Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin. Designed by Israeli architect Moshe Safdie, it sits on a hill commanding a panoramic view of Hayarkon Park and Tel Aviv, near the Eretz Israel Museum, the Palmach Museum, Tel Aviv University and Beth Hatefutsoth. The center was inaugurated in November 2005, on the tenth anniversary of Rabin's assassination.[1]
History
The center was erected on the foundations of a top secret power station known as "Reading G" or "J'ora." Built in 1954–1956 to supply power in the event of an enemy bombing, it was financed in part by the German reparations agreement.[citation needed]
