Considering the lack of space for new burials in the first used section of land and the bad shape of the infrastructure, the Jewish Society in Salvador decided in 2006 to draw a new plan, regarding the future.
Part of the plan consisted also in building a Holocaust Memorial, a space capable of filling some programmatic blanks. First, creating a landmark to the new occupation; second, providing the visitors with a place to pray, think and meditate, giving the cemetery a useful liturgical space; third, remembering one of the most important events in the Jewish history, playing an educational role as well.
