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.
