18 seating areas exist in the garden. In every corner is placed a rock on which is engraved the name and the essence of the deeds of the one who lived in Haifa and was recognized as a follower of the nations of the world. Some of the followers lived in the city for many years and some for shorter periods.

Among the Righteous Among the Nations immortalized in the Raoul Wallenberg Garden, who saved about 30 Hungarian Jews. Wallenberg, lived in the city for about six months during 1936 when he worked at the Dutch bank that was operating in Haifa at the time. Here in Haifa he first met Jewish refugees who had chosen from Germany and it is possible that here lay the foundation for one of the greatest acts of heroism and rescue in the history of mankind.
