Jewish Monument "Light of the Sea"

The monument "Light of the Sea" consists of five boulders, which originally lay on the dike near Delfzijl. On one of the stones is a menorah, a seven-armed candlestick that is the symbol of Judaism. On the front a wall with the names of all 126 Jewish victims from Delfzijl.
The victims were put on the train to Amsterdam, from where most were deported to concentration and extermination camps in Germany and Poland.
