Victory Monument, Central District, Israel
The victory Monument marks the Red Army’s victory over Nazi Germany.
The State of Israel and the Jewish people owe a debt of profound gratitude and appreciation to the Russian people and the Red Army for their fighters’ sacrifice and heroism, which brought victory over the Nazi enemy in World War II.
The Russian people and the fighters of the Red Army were the decisive factors in defeating Nazism and ceasing the genocide of the Jewish people in the concentration and extermination camps in Europe, which contributed to the establishment of the State of Israel three years after the victory over Nazi Germany. The strong link between the victory over Nazi Germany and the revival of the Jewish people in Israel is firmly rooted in the Israeli public’s mind. An unbearable price was exacted of the Soviet soldiers and citizens in protecting the free world from Nazi fascism: more than 10 million Russian soldiers and over 11 million Russian citizens were killed in heavy battle.
