Jewish victims of the Holocaust

Description:

On a grassy lawn between the main parking area and the synagogue building of Temple Anshe Shalom in Delray Beach is a group of memorials. The main monument is a hexagonal granite drum set on a low circular brick base. From this rises an open metal work spire culminated in a Magen David. On the sides of the drum are various memorial inscriptions and attached bronze plaques. Nearby are two benches with memorial plaques. A separate stele-type monument dedicates the entire Holocaust Memorial Garden, especially to the victims of the ghetto of Shavel (Šiauliai), Lithuania.
