Nechama Rivlin, wife of President Reuven Rivlin, came to the Jewish Museum in Berlin where a massive art installation by recently deceased artist Menashe Kadishman is on permanent display.

The piece is comprised of some 10,000 metal masks which are scattered over the floor of one of the spaces in the museum.

Rivlin came to the museum to lay a wreath of flowers on the piece: “I came here to pay final respects to Menashke, our beloved, as I promised Maya his daughter. I came to honor this unique and rare work of art and to promise to him that we will not forget him, never.”
