The Wall of Rebellion

 A wall bearing the names of most of the Jewish communities in which acts of resistance against the Nazi enemy occurred, even if they did not use weapons and did not involve visible warfare. For many years, this wall was a kind of “Western Wall” for Holocaust survivors. Many survivors would stand before it, touch it, and sometimes kiss the cement letters that spelled out the name of the town or community from which they hailed.

Abba Kovner described the wall as follows: “And these are the names of the camps of the fighters which the Jewish resistance movement had in forests, ghettos, cities, in Allied army deployments, and in the death camps on European soil, 1939-1945.”
