“My words have been made of bronze and stone, they are silent, heavy and longstanding. ” Nathan Rapoport
The 8 m high bronze monument, which weighs about twelve tons, was made by sculptor Nathan Rapoport , a Holocaust survivor himself. It is shaped like a double Torah scroll. The scroll on the right focuses on the Holocaust ( Shoah ) and its survivors, while the scroll on the left deals with the struggle to establish a new homeland the war for independence, the establishment of the State of Israel and the unification of Jerusalem after the Six Day War.
In the space between the two scrolls, there are two rooms of memorial, and in each one is engraved a quote from the Bible.

People marching to the concentration camps and the ghettos. Janusz Korczak (1878 -1942) After spending many years working as director of an orphanage in Warsaw, he refused freedom and stayed with his orphans when the institution was sent from the Ghetto to Treblinka extermination camp.
The Warsaw ghetto is seen with its flames and the defenders of the ghetto fighting the Nazi enemy, but there are no visible Germans.
The helmets and bayonets symbolize the Nazis. Faceless. Their horrible acts wiped off their humanity.
End of the “ wandering Jew “ After the Holocaust he has left his stick and sack behind as he has finally reached his homeland.
The olive tree , whose branches are formed from human bodies, was truncated. However, it sprouted new branches. So is the renewal for the nation. Even in the middle of destruction a new life/nation can be formed.
This scroll ends with holocaust survivors arriving to Israel in the pre -state period. The small boat represents the thousands who arrived during the illegal/clandestine immigration era. The people from Eretz Israel are helping them get off the boats. Near the boat , a man is kissing the Land of Israel ! In the other scroll , there are some symbols of the land of Israel : an orange tree, a boy holding a cluster of grapes – one of the seven species mentioned in the Bible. ( see some more in the next slides ) The pregnant woman symbolizes the birth of the next generation that will be born into freedom and a homeland.
