War Memorial in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem, War memorial in Jewish Quarter, Jerusalem, Israel
The War Memorial stands as a stone monument in the heart of the Jewish Quarter, commemorating 48 residents who perished defending their neighborhood.
During the 1948 War of Independence, this location witnessed intense fighting for six months before the defenders of the Jewish Quarter fell.
Regular memorial ceremonies bring together families and community members to honor the memory of those who defended Jerusalem during critical times.
The memorial site includes detailed plaques and inscriptions that provide information about the battles and individuals who lost their lives here.
The original burial site of the fallen defenders was relocated to the Mount of Olives cemetery in August 1967, marking a significant historical transition.
