Liberation, War memorial in Liberty State Park, New Jersey, US.

The bronze sculpture represents an American soldier carrying a Holocaust survivor, measuring fifteen feet tall and weighing two tons at Liberty State Park.

Artist Nathan Rapoport created this memorial in 1985, drawing from his experiences as a Polish refugee who escaped the Nazi invasion during World War II.

The memorial forms a symbolic triad with Liberty Island and Ellis Island, reinforcing the principles of freedom and democracy in American society.

Visitors can access the memorial through Liberty State Park, which provides walking paths and views of the Manhattan skyline across the Hudson River.

The Department of Defense Guide to Observances features this monument on its cover as a representation of American military humanitarian actions.
