Lighthouse Memorial Jersey

This lighthouse stood on St. Catherine's Pier for more than 100 years and was moved to this site after it was decommissioned in 1996 to serve as a memorial to Jersey citizens who were taken away during World War II.

In particular, the Jersey 21 are commemorated. This refers to the 21 women and men who did not return from German prisons and concentration camps.

The lighthouse features plaques with the following inscriptions:

'Apart from the five years of German occupation, this light, from St Catherines Breakwater, shone brightly for over a hundred years to warn seamen of danger.

Today it stands as a monument to the islanders who died in concentration camps far from their island. A symbol of remembrance and a beacon of hope for the future

This monument was unveiled by the Bailiff of Jersey, Sir Philip Bailhache On November 9, 1996
