  Memorials Holocaust memorial in the Beth David Memorial Gardens (Levitt Weinstein Jewish Funeral Home and Cemetery) in Hollywood, FL, USA, 1986
Memorial Name
The Phoenix Tree
Who/What is Commemorated?
Victims of the Holocaust, partisans, ghetto fighters, liberators, Righteous Among the Nations, and Holocaust survivors.
Description:
The memorial is a granite stele on a horizontal granite slab, situated at the end of a paved path.
Its front side has a design that includes flames around a tree with most trunks cut, but some still growing. An arm, with the Star of David in its background, reaches from the flames and bears a concentration camp number. Presumably, the tattoo number is that of the artist’s parent. The horizontal slab features a dedication to the Holocaust victims in Hebrew and English.
A metal plaque with a menorah at the foot of the slab gives the name of Sallie Kaye, a “second generation survivor” who died in Israel in 1976.
On the back side of the memorial, there are depictions of an open book with a quill, the Star of David, a dedication in English and a list of killing places.
