Thousands of memorial stickers honoring fallen Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers and victims of the October 7 Hamas attack have been placed in various locations globally in recent years. These stickers have transformed popular tourist routes for Israelis into sites of remembrance. The memorials can be found from the beaches of Panama to the streets of Rio de Janeiro, and from the volcanoes of Guatemala to remote, hard-to-reach places. These small markers tell the stories of those who are no longer alive. The global memorial map is driven by the families, friends, and Israeli travelers who chose to carry the memory of the fallen and murdered far from home. Each sticker aims to connect distant locations with the grief and longing felt in Israel, ensuring that the memory extends beyond the country's borders to those who might encounter it incidentally on the other side of the world. The initiative is supported by Israeli photographers and groups like "Stickers of Meaning" and "Madbikim Malachim" (Sticking Angels).
