Beit Hanna was founded in memory of famed paratrooper and poet Hanna Senesh, who performed rescue missions in Nazi-occupied Europe during WWII. She was a member of Kibbutz Sdot Yam. The site features a sound and light show (in a choice of 6 languages) displaying the story of her life, missions and heroic death, as well as an exhibition and a monument in her honor from Budapest.
