Holocaust Memorial for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Memorial sculpture at Riverfront Park in Harrisburg, United States
The Holocaust Memorial features a plaza with sand-carved inscriptions on black granite walls and a large stainless steel sculpture near the Susquehanna River.
The memorial, completed in 1994, emerged from a design competition organized by the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg and was created by David Ascalon.
The memorial serves as an educational resource where annual Yom Hashoah observances bring the community together to honor Holocaust victims.
Visitors can find the Holocaust Memorial along the Capital Area Greenbelt, within walking distance from the Pennsylvania State Capitol building.
The memorial combines weathering Cor-Ten steel with stainless steel in its construction, creating a compelling structural contrast against the riverside setting.
