Statue of Liberty Menorah, 1986

German-born Manfred was taken out of Nazi Germany as a child and arrived in Australia. In 1963 he immigrated to the US. This Hanukkiah unites his Jewish and American identity and heritage. It includes nine branches designed after the statue of liberty. Under each branch is engraved a central event or figure from Jewish history: the exodus, the Babylonian exile, Yehuda Maccabi, the two anti-Roman uprisings, exile, herzl and the Zionist Congress, the Holocaust, and the establishment of the State of Israel.
