Geocache Description:

The Holocaust Memorial Park is a nice green park in the middle of western Rishon Lezion, a perfect place for an occasional saturday picnic.

Tourists (i.e. non-Israeli) please note: despite being called a Holocaust Memorial, it's much more a city park than a commemoration site. You will see people celebrating birthdays, playing music or jogging around; this is typical and isn't disrespectful by any matter. :) 


From the Rishon Lezion muni. website:

The Memorial Park initiated by Mayor Nitzan is located near Kiryat Kramim. The 160,000 sq. meter complex includes Hassidei Umot Haolam [Righteous Among the Nations] Boulevard, on which 40 cubes of stone represent the countries of origin of the people that were honored with this title following Word War ll. 
A huge cement and iron monument with six chimneys of differing heights commemorates the six million Jews exterminated by the Nazis as well as all the "Sons of Rishon" killed in the course of Israel's wars.
Another monument honors individuals from all over the world who fought the Nazis. The park is graced with green lawns, waterfalls, ponds and fountains. Next to the "Hurshat Habanim" grove that commemorates Rishon residents killed in action, the "Tekuma Monument" symbolizes the connection between the Holocaust and the revival of the State.

To find the cache take a look at the panoramic spoiler picture, taken from GZ [the actual cache location]. HERE (or here)

If you get it right, the trip from the posted coordinates to the cache itself should take no more than a minute or two. You're looking for a small, transparent tubular cache with a yellow lid. 

Once you're done, please place the cache back in its place, and cover it better than the cacher before you ;)!

Happy Caching!
