Leaving of a Stone

Small shelves containing stones are at the base of the wall tablets remembering the dead in the cemetery at the Dohany street synagogue in Budapest, Hungary. This particular shelf has one large pebble marked with the name of the small town of Pecs where around 6,000 people were exterminated in death camps by the Nazi regime.
