Denmark Square Memorial, Holocaust memorial in Beit HaKerem, Israel.
Denmark Square Memorial is an artistic installation created by sculptor Roda Reilinger, situated in a landscaped setting in Jerusalem's Beit HaKerem neighborhood. The site features carefully designed pathways and green spaces that frame the work.
The memorial commemorates the Danish resistance movement that rescued and transported more than 7,000 Jews to Sweden between 1943 and 1944. This rescue operation was one of the most successful humanitarian efforts during Nazi occupation.
This memorial reflects the bond between Denmark and Israel, honoring those who risked their lives to help others during World War II. It serves as a place where visitors can remember acts of courage and compassion.
The memorial is accessible by public transportation with clear signage leading to the entrance. The grounds are easy to navigate on foot and can be visited comfortably at any time of day.
The memorial is one of several sites across Israel acknowledging Denmark's role in rescuing Jews during the Holocaust. A nearby school also bears Denmark's name, reflecting the depth of this historical relationship.
