Giardino dei Giusti del Mondo, Memorial garden in Terranegra district, Padua, Italy
The Giardino dei Giusti del Mondo features steel and concrete monuments arranged as menhirs, commemorating individuals who opposed genocides throughout history.
The garden was established in October 2008, following a municipal initiative from 1999, to honor people who protected victims of persecution during 20th-century genocides.
Each recognized individual receives a dedicated tree and stone marker within the garden, creating a growing collection of tributes to moral resistance.
The garden stands near the National Temple of the Unknown Internee and extends along the San Gregorio canal, offering a path for reflection and remembrance.
The surrounding wall displays Hannah Arendt's words 'One can always say yes or no,' emphasizing individual choice in confronting moral challenges.
