Memorial Candle monument in Jerusalem, Holocaust memorial in Mount of Remembrance, Jerusalem, Israel.

The Memorial Candle features white broken stelae of different heights, with mirrored walls creating reflections of five central candles in the main chamber.

This monument, established in 1987, stands as part of Yad Vashem to commemorate 1.5 million Jewish children who died during the Holocaust under Nazi regime.

The continuous audio recording inside the memorial recites names, ages, and places of death of children, requiring three months to complete the entire list.

Located within the 50-acre Yad Vashem complex, visitors enter through a natural rock formation and descend into an underground octagonal chamber.

The memorial employs semi-reflective glass panels and mirrors to create infinite reflections from a single candle, representing the magnitude of lives lost.
