See vignettes of some of the scenes one encounters if visiting on this day of Yom Hazikaron, Israel's memorial day, at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem, the national cemetery.
A 2023 short film release by photographer and filmmaker Judah S. Harrisis is available for online viewing.
"Who was this soldier?" is a question that might motivate a drop of reasearch, or you might ask an individual or family that is lingering alongside the grave area.
Judah S. Harris first visited "Har Herzl" on Yom Hazikaron in 1992, and he met a woman who was with her very young daughter, probably only four years old, and sitting next to the grave of her brother who had fallen in the Sinai during the Yom Kippur War.
The footage for this short video (4:45 min) was filmed on Yom Hazikaron, May 4, 2022, and can be seen on YouTube at the link above.
