Victims of Acts of Terror Memorial

Victims of Acts of Terror Memorial, National memorial on Mount Herzl, Jerusalem, Israel

The Victims of Acts of Terror Memorial stands on Mount Herzl in Jerusalem as a series of stone walls built of Jerusalem stone, designed by architects Moshe and Rita Oren. Embedded in the walls are 78 black marble plaques engraved with the names of Jewish and non-Jewish civilian victims of terrorism from 1851 onward, grouped by period from 1851–1919 to October 2009 to the present. Plaques 1–60 were permanently engraved in 2006; later plaques remain temporary pending family approval.

The memorial was established in 1998 following public demands for official recognition of civilians killed in terrorist attacks. Its creation reflects growing needs for organized remembrance and national acknowledgment of these losses.

The memorial's name in Hebrew, Andartat Halalei Pe'ulot HaEiva, means "Monument to the Victims of Hostile Acts". Verses from the Talmud and the prayer book are carved into the stone walls. Each year on Yom Hazikaron the main ceremony for terror victims is held in the memorial plaza, attended by the president, the prime minister, the chief rabbis, the welfare minister and the director of the National Insurance Institute.

The memorial stands at the edge of the Mount Herzl military cemetery, next to the section for national leaders and near the immigrants' plot, midway between the military graves and Yitzhak Rabin's grave. The walls are Jerusalem stone with 78 black marble plaques grouped by period, from 1851–1919 to October 2009 onward. Plaques 1–60 were permanently engraved in 2006; later ones remain temporary until families approve.

Pope Francis visited the memorial in May 2014 and touched the wall during his Middle East journey. This visit by an international leader highlights the site's significance that extends beyond local boundaries.
