Within the confines of Budapest’s Great Synagogue in Budapest exists the Tree of Life Holocaust Memorial. The tree, which is made of stainless steel and silver, is fashioned to look like a weeping willow. The shape of the tree resembles an upside down menorah.

And on the top of the black granite double archway that sits in front of the tree, a Hebrew inscription asks: “Is there a bigger pain than mine?”
