b.    Masada:

Maccabee Jews were living in a fortress called Masada, and the Romans wanted to attack them. But the Romans had to build a ramp to get up there, that took 2 years to build.

Masada is important, because it serves as a reminder of the Jew’s commitment to never let their country fali again to someone else's rule.
