We cherish you, the veterans of the city - the veterans,   those who fought and those who survived to tell._ cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
Thanks to the victory in World War II, we are all here today in our country - the State of Israel.
 

Led by the Rishon Lezion Municipality's Absorption Division, together with the Autographers project, we have organized an international art exhibition, which aims to connect the community to its unique history and embark on a joint journey aimed at commemorating the heroism of these warriors. The exhibition not only gives a place of honor to the Soviet community in our city, but also ensures that the younger generation will continue to remember and not forget. Our moral duty as a society is to remember the terrible price of the world wars and to instill values of respect for heroism and solidarity.
 
I would like to thank the documenters who shared with us their personal history, the translators who helped bridge the language differences, and the Rishon Lezion Municipality's Absorption Division, who together with the autographers led to the creation of these exciting products.
 
Regards,

Rz artificial

Mayor of Rishon Lezion
