"The Partisans' Panorama pays tribute to the Jewish fighters who joined the partisans during the Holocaust. The sculpture at its center is entitled "For is the tree of the field man" (Deut. 20:19). The sculptor, Zadok Ben-David, chose the tree as a symbol of the partisan fighter, whose life depended on the forest and its trees as a place to hide. On a nearby stone the words of the partisans' anthem are engraved in Hebrew, Yiddish and English."

Sculptor Zadok Ben-David says: "About four or five years ago, Yad Vashem approached me to make something commemorating the Partisans, the people who fought the Nazis from the forests, and I singled out one tree, which seen from one side looks like an ordinary tree, but when you come closer you start to see hundreds of figures - from the ground to the branches - of men, women and children, and that's where it started," he said."

Zadok Ben-David (born 1949) is an Israeli artist working in London. He was born in Beihan, Yemen; his family immigrated to Israel when he was an infant. He studied at the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design from 1971 to 1973. He continued his studies at the University of Reading and Saint Martin's School of Art, where he studied sculpture and later taught, from 1977-1982. Since 1980, Ben-David has had more than forty solo exhibitions. His works are held in the collections of public and private institutions in Europe, East Asia, the United States, Israel and Australia.
