Ashdod Travelers guide

Along the sea shore 91 Continue on the path towards the Struma and Mafkura monument created by the sculptor Baruch Wind in 1991. To the left of the monument stands an iron model of the ship "Mafkura", which is placed on waves made out of concrete and painted white. On the right, embedded into the ground are pieces of the ship's wreckage and torn sails on which the death route of the ship is etched, together with commemorative details and words of remembrance: "An eternal memorial for the martyrs of the illegal immigrant ships who found their death in the depths of the Black Sea when they fled the horrors of the Nazi regime in Romania, and on the way to the Land of Israel were martyred by malicious murderers". TIP Across the road from the monument, you will be able to see the largest open theatre in the country, which is located within the Ashdod-Yam park and which hosts many shows and events throughout the entire year.
