A menorah commemorating the Holocaust was permanently placed in the gardens of a seminary in Rome. The dedication of the 4-foot-tall menorah, designed by an Israeli sculptor, occurred on Holocaust Remembrance Day on Tuesday. U.S. Roman Catholic officials and Jewish leaders who attended the ceremony called the move a step forward in Catholic-Jewish dialogue.
