"Bernard (Bernie) Fink, Monument to the Jewish Soldiers and Partisans who fought against Nazi Germany

"Following many appeals we received from enlisted fighter organizations and on the strength of our own feeling that it was necessary to underscore the fact that one and a half million Jews waged war against Nazi Germany, we intend to establish a monument commemorating the Jewish soldiers who fought with the Allied Forces' armies," wrote Dr. Yitzhak Arad, himself a fighter in the ghetto underground, with the partisans, and later on in the Palmach. The monument was inaugurated in May 1985, on the 40th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany. The proposal submitted by artist Bernie Fink was selected from among 90 entries. In the center of the monument are six granite bricks chiseled in the shape of a hexagon, symbolizing the six million Jewish victims. The composition of the six bricks creates a negative Star of David on the background of the Jerusalem sky, symbolizing Jewish heroism. A metal spearhead cuts upwards through the Star of David, representing the armed fighters. The plaza leading to the monument is designed in the shape of a seven-branched Menorah. At the base of the Menorah, the inscription reads in English, French, Hebrew, Russian and Yiddish: “Monument to the Jewish Soldiers and Partisans who fought against Nazi Germany 1939-1945”. The monument, which was inaugurated in the presence of then-Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin, is the site of the annual ceremony in commemoration of the victory over Nazi Germany."
