Comments:
The monument in the courtyard of the Great Synagogue of Budapest was made by Imre Varga, and on each of the willow leaves is engraved the name of one of the Jews of Budapest who perished in the Holocaust.
The verse that appears at the top of the monument is from Lamentations, chapter 1.

Translation of the text on the sign:
... if there be any pain like unto my pain, which is done unto me ... (Lamentations, Ch1)

[The text that appears at the bottom of the monument]
THIS MEMORIAL WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE EMMANUEL FOUNDATION IN THE NEVER-FORGOTTEN MEMORY OF THE 600,000 HUNGARIAN JEWISH MARTYRS WHO BECAME THE INNOCENT VICTIMS OF HISTORY’S UNPARALLELED EVIL
