In 1976, Yad Vashem commissioned Moshe Safdie to design a memorial to the one-and-a-half million children who perished in the Holocaust. The monument was dedicated in 1987, after Abraham and Edith Spiegel of Beverly Hills, California, who had lost their two-year-old son Uziel in the Auschwitz concentration camp, funded the project.
