Who is Commemorated?
Jews deported from Rhodes
Description
Set against the north wall of the synagogue interior is the memorial installation of 20 acrylic panels mounted on two connected metal frames. The panels open like pages of a large book. After an introductory “page,” the panels contain the names of Jews deported from Rhodes, listed alphabetically by family. The small number of survivors is indicated by asterisks next to their names.
Inscriptions
On the first page, in English:
Every soul had a name.
As they walked through the gates of hell
they became a number.
As they perished and rose to heaven they
remained a number.
Every name deserves to be remembered.
In memory of all our Muestros,
