Monument of the Scroll of Fire

All the information about the Monument of the Scroll of Fire: The monument was established on the initiative of "B'nai B'rith" in the United States, and with its contribution. The site was chosen by Yosef Weitz, one of the leaders of the KKL and one of the founders of the Israel Land Authority. The monument was sculpted by the artist Natan Rappaport, a Holocaust survivor himself. The monument is made of bronze and is eight meters high. Its form is two scroll cylinders, expressing the fact that the People of Israel is a people of the book. One cylinder depicts the Holocaust and the other the Revival (rebirth). In the part symbolizing "the Holocaust," among other things, scenes depict Janusz Korczak and his children, a row of helmets describing the Nazi soldiers, a figure of fighters of the ghetto holding a grenade, and additional figures behind the camp fences. The Holocaust section is sealed/closed by images of Holocaust survivors coming to the country in the Aliyah by Illegal Immigration (Hapala) operations, Jews from the country who help them disembark from the boats, and a figure of a Jew kissing the soil of the land of Israel. In the "Revival" section, various symbols of the Land are sculpted, such as: olive trees, a child holding a cluster of grapes, Rabbi Goren sounding the shofar beside stones of the Western Wall, the menorah of the Temple as depicted in the Arch of Titus, a figure of an elderly man (in the likeness of Rabbi Aryeh Levin) symbolizing the Prophet Elijah, people dancing a Hora, and flags waving beside an angel blowing a trumpet. In the spaces created between the two cylinders, two memorial rooms are placed, and within each of them a verse from the Tanakh is engraved. The monument is located in the Forest of the Martyrs in the Jerusalem Hills, near Nahal Ksalon.
