Last Descendant monument, Limestone memorial sculpture on Mount Herzl, Jerusalem, Israel

The Last Descendant monument is a sculpture by Micha Ullman on Mount Herzl, made of chalky limestone and measuring 116 cm high, 302 cm wide and 300 cm deep. It takes the form of a stone house that has broken apart: the main body has fallen to one side, while the façade with its door opening lies on the ground beyond the structure. The names of the fallen are carved on the façade.

The monument was initiated by Moshe Oren, head of commemoration projects at the Ministry of Defense, and created by the Unit for Commemorating the Soldier together with Yad Vashem. It was inaugurated on 22 April 2004 at the end of the connecting path leading from Yad Vashem's main entrance to Mount Herzl. In 2006 a square named for the last descendants was dedicated in Ra'anana, and the monument appeared on a 2005 Memorial Day stamp.

The monument is part of a project by the Ministry of Defense's soldier commemoration unit and Yad Vashem to locate and honor IDF soldiers who were Holocaust survivors and the last remnant of their family. Moshe Oren initiated the memorial, and in 2006 a square named for the last remnant was inaugurated in Ra'anana.

The monument stands at the end of the connecting path that climbs from the main entrance of Yad Vashem up to Mount Herzl, so it is reached on foot along that route. The stone plaque with the inscription is fixed beside the sculpture, on the ground where the facade lies.

The names are carved on the house's front wall, which fell away from the main block and lies flat on the ground, so the facade reads as a separate slab. The monument records 168 soldiers, a figure that grew from a project by the Ministry of Defense and Yad Vashem to trace Shoah survivors who left no family behind.
