Thousands have visited a memorial outside the Tree of Life synagogue\u00a0over the past two weeks, laying flowers, rocks and candles near 11 white\u00a0wooden Stars of David — one for each of the worshipers murdered at the synagogue on Oct. 27.<\/p>\n

The memorial outside the Squirrel Hill synagogue at the intersection of Shady and Wilkins avenues, and another a few blocks away, have served as places for the community to mourn and remember the victims<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The spontaneous\u00a0memorials will be\u00a0moved indoors beginning on Nov. 14. The materials will be\u00a0cataloged and preserved in the Rauh Jewish History Program & Archives at the Senator John Heinz History Center.<\/p>\n
