1. An Eternal Memorial Marker

Inscription. To the six million Jewish
martyrs brutally
tortured and killed by
the Nazis 1939 - 1945.
May our God remember
them with all the
righteous of the world.
May their souls be bound
up in the bond
of eternal life.

אני מאמין באמונה שלמה שתהיה תחית המתים
בעת שיעלה רצון מאת הבורא יתברך שמו

I believe with perfect faith that there
will be a revival of the dead at a time
which will please the creator, blessed
and exalted be his name forever and ever.

אני מאמין באמונה שלמה בביאת המשיח ואף על פי
שיתמהמה עם כל זה אחכה לו בכל יום שיבא

I believe with perfect faith
in the coming of the messiah
and though he may tarry
I daily wait for his coming.

Erected 1961 by The Kol Israel Foundation; The Jewish Community Of Cleveland.
