The Tree of Life Memorial

In the Raul Wallenberg Memorial Garden on the Great Synagogue’s north side,
the Holocaust (or Emanuel) Tree of Life Memorial,
designed by Imre Varga in 1991 and paid for by the late American actor
Tony Curtis for his Hungarian-born father Emanuel Schwartz, stands over the mass graves of those murdered by the Nazis in 1944–45.
On the leaves of the metal tree are inscribed the family names of some of the hundreds of thousands of victims.
So moving to see.

A sober reminder of those dreadful, horrific times. I had no idea that Tony Curtis paid for such a memorial. V
