Holocaust memorial in London’s Hyde Park was unveiled in 1983. In consists of two boulders set in raked
gravel and surrounded by silver birch trees and is situated East of The Dell, at the westerly end of the Serpentine Lake.

these I weep. Streams of tears flow from my eyes because of the destruction of
my people”.
