Memorial to Victims of the Injustice of the Holocaust, Holocaust memorial sculpture at Madison Avenue and 25th Street, United States.
The Memorial to Victims of the Injustice of the Holocaust is a 38-foot tall marble sculpture featuring a six-sided half column with carvings of rising flames. The base displays an aerial representation of Auschwitz camp with marked locations of key buildings including the Gas Chamber and Execution Wall.
The memorial was established in 1988 through the efforts of a private committee of lawyers who fundraised 200,000 dollars for its creation and installation. The project emerged from the legal community's commitment to honor victims and advocate for justice.
The memorial sits on the courthouse facade where pedestrians encounter it during their daily routines. Its placement in a public legal building creates a connection between law, justice, and remembrance.
The memorial is located on the courthouse facade at Madison Avenue and 25th Street and is freely accessible to view from the street. As an outdoor installation, it can be visited any time of day without restricted hours or entrance fees.
The inscription 'Indifference to Injustice is the Gate to Hell' encircles the base as a reminder of what happens when society turns away. This warning emphasizes that inaction in the face of wrongdoing becomes complicity.
