In the grounds of Stockholm’s Great Synagogue there is a set of train tracks that lead out of the grounds to the Raul Wallenberg monument. In between the train tacks are stones from the ghetto in Budapest, a gift from that city to the Stockholm Jewish community/synagogue.

Wow, that’s amazing! Good thing you were paying attention
It is, isn’t it?
A poignant and fitting memorial.
That’s what I thought when I read where the paving stones were from.
Strong visual impact.
Indeed, very powerful.
How poignant, just knowing where the stones came from makes it more so.
And even more so if you have been to the Jewish quarter of Budapest.

Wow. They really put a lot of thought and effort into the memorial. Thankfully.
I totally agree with you and this makes it very powerful.
