The Anti-Defamation League described a plan by evangelical pastors in Kansas to build a replica of the Western Wall as part of an anti-abortion shrine as “an outrageous affront to the Jewish people.”
The International Pro-Life Memorial and National Life Center is being planned by anti-abortion activists in Wichita, the Forward reported.
The model of the Western Wall would be a full-size, exact replica. The activists view the Western Wall as the embodiment of remembering Jewish suffering during the Holocaust, and now want the wall to memorialize some 60 million aborted fetuses. — jta
