The giant menorrah erected in the Sejm and lit by religious clergy celebrates a time, place, event and people foreign to Poland and Polish history.

The cross is a direct and intimate part of the history of both the Sejm and Poland and should be included and preserved in the collection of the Sejm Library's Museum.
