Monument to the children in Yad Vashem

It was erected in 1987 in remembrance of children killed during the reign of the Nazi Party in the German Reich.

[1][2] In the memorial's entrance area, there are several white, broken-off stelae of different heights as a symbol for the lives broken off by the Nazis.

[1] The main room of the memorial is completely mirrored and reflects the light of five candles.

The reflection of these lights produces the illusion of space, which symbolizes the approximately 1.5 million children and young people who died during the Holocaust.

As spectators move through the room in the sparse light of the candles, names of the deceased children and adolescents, with their age and place of death, are recited by a looped tape recording.
