The plaques and their messages - Telling the story of Jews in Europe
As you can see from the sample images from the memorial, not all the plaques contain images of murder. Many tell the story of Jews being driven out of their homes and towns. Some show living conditions during deportation and transportation to death camps as well as during incarceration in concentration camps. Others, are photos of enslavement which cost the lives of tens of thousands.
Since WWII, more than 850,000 Jews who lived in the Arab world for 2000 years, were forced due to persecution or expulsion, to leave their homes in Iran, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Algeria, Uganda, Sudan, Tunisia, Somalia, Afghanistan, Morocco and others.
Many found safety and resettlement in the State of Israel.
