\u201cThe Tomb of Karl Marx (1818 - 1883) stands in the
Eastern cemetery of Highgate Cemetery, North London, England. It
commemorates the burial sites of Marx, of his wife, Jenny von
Westphalen, and other members of his family. Originally buried in a
different part of the Eastern cemetery, the bodies were disinterred
and reburied at their present location in 1954. The tomb was designed
by Laurence Bradshaw and was unveiled in 1956, in a ceremony led by
Harry Pollitt, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Great
Britain, which funded the memorial. The tomb consists of a large bust
of Marx in bronze set on a marble pedestal. The pedestal is inscribed
with quotes from Marx's works including, on the front, the final
words of The Communist Manifesto, "Workers of all lands unite".
Since its construction, the tomb has become a place of pilgrimage for
followers of Marxist theory. It has also been a target for Marx's
opponents, suffering vandalism, and two bomb attacks in the 1970s. It
is a Grade I listed structure, the highest listing reserved for
buildings and structures of "exceptional interest". \u201c
