She is a resident of Givatayim and such a central cultural symbol, and therefore deserves to be honored for generations to come. Commemoration of Lia Koenig is part of our trend in recent years. To commemorate key figures, including of course women who inspire us all.Unfortunately the public space has been expropriated for many years in favor of almost exclusively commemorating men, and I see a need to correct this historical distortion and bring to the forefront key female figures, who deserve their due exposure ".

Habima Theater CEO Noam Semel said: "Lea Koenig is one of the top actresses in theater, film and television in the world.

75 years in a row on stage, including 60 years on stage non-stop.
