Forest of the Martyrs

The Forest of the Martyrs (Hebrew: יער הקדושים‎) (Ya'ar HaKdoshim) is a forest on the outskirts of Jerusalem, Israel. It is located on the western edge of Eshtaol Forest near Beit Meir. It was planted as a memorial to those who died in the Holocaust and will eventually contain six million trees, symbolizing the six million Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis in World War II.
