From Fragments to Hope Memorial

From Fragments to Hope Memorial, War memorial in HaMeginim wood, Israel.

From Fragments to Hope Memorial stands in an open area at the edge of HaMeginim wood, facing the Ayalon and Latrun valleys. At its centre an olive tree grows, ringed by three upright natural rocks set at equal intervals on an imaginary circle; smooth stone plaques between the rocks and the trunk carry the names of the fallen, and a wide circle of white stones surrounds the whole.

The memorial was initiated by Yehuda Sternfeld, a Holocaust survivor who fought in the 1948 War of Independence, and was created by the Jewish National Fund. Sculptor Natan Sass designed it, and it was inaugurated in 2001. It commemorates 436 fighters of Netzer Aharon, the last surviving members of families destroyed in the Holocaust, who fell in Israel's War of Independence.

The memorial's name, From Fragments to Hope (Misheber L'Tekva), links the shattered families of the Holocaust with the future. The 436 fallen are engraved in groups by their countries of origin, so a visitor can trace one family line or one community across the stone panels. A sign near the tree line explains the site in Hebrew, English and Spanish.

The ground is open and unpaved, so sturdy shoes help; the names on the stone panels are grouped by the fallen soldiers' countries of origin.
