WWII Partisan Monument to be Dedicated in Israel
Jerusalem to honor WWII Jewish partisans with new monument
By Amiram Barkat, Haaretz Correspondent
A memorial to the thousands of Jewish partisans who fought against the Nazis in World War II is to be erected before the end of the year at Mt. Herzl in Jerusalem.
The project was initiated by a few of the last remaining Jewish partisans in Israel, who for years have sought funding and a site for a memorial from state authorities. The project was made possible through the assistance of a young businessman, who promised to finance it and pulled some strings to obtain an appropriate location.
