Artifacts from Cyprus detainment camps

Hannuka Menora
Limestone,  Cyprus  

The body of the Menora is carved from the Hebrew letters “Kafrisin” (Cyprus) with the first and last letters forming the outer frame. The candleholders are shaped like the tin huts that served as barracks in the camps. The shamash  is in the shape of the guard towers that surrounded the camps.
