Jewish Soldiers in the Russian army in WW2 Memorial

Jewish Soldiers in the Russian army in WW2 Memorial, War memorial monument on Mount Herzl, Israel

The Jewish Soldiers in the Russian Army in WW2 Memorial is a stone monument on Mount Herzl in Israel standing about five meters tall. It bears inscriptions in multiple languages and commemorates the service of Jewish soldiers in the Soviet military during World War Two.

The memorial was erected in 1989 to honor the contributions of Jewish soldiers who served in the Red Army against Nazi Germany. It marks a significant connection between the Soviet Union and the Jewish communities who fought on the Eastern Front.

The inscriptions are in Hebrew and Russian, not Yiddish: a verse from Judges 2, "So that the generations of the children of Israel may know", appears in metal letters, with a Russian dedication below to Jewish soldiers who fell fighting Nazism in the Soviet Army. The number 200,000 is set in copper digits.

The memorial stands on the slope of a ridge of Mount Herzl, reached by a staircase whose flanking stones are carved with "1941–1945". A plaza in front of the wall is used for ceremonies; on its left side are dressed stones decreasing in size, a helmet with a rifle, and a niche holding a book with the names of the fallen. Beside it is the memorial to Jewish soldiers of the Polish army.

The six copper digits "200,000" on the left section of the wall state the number of Jewish soldiers the monument commemorates. Beside the ceremony plaza, dressed stones run from large to small as a symbol of people turned to dust, next to a helmet with a rifle and a niche holding a book of names.
