Ohio Holocaust and Liberators Memorial, Holocaust memorial at Ohio Statehouse grounds, Columbus, United States.

Two bronze panels rise 18 feet high with irregularly angled edges, forming a six-pointed star shape through their central meeting point.

Governor John Kasich initiated the memorial project in 2011 to honor Holocaust survivors and Ohio soldiers who liberated concentration camps in 1945.

The memorial includes inscriptions recognizing Jewish victims along with prisoners of war, ethnic minorities, and other groups persecuted under Nazi Germany.

The memorial spans 1,029 square feet and features limestone walkways between graduated stone walls, with benches providing spaces for visitors.

The bronze panels contain embossed text sharing an Auschwitz survivor's account, creating a direct connection to historical testimonies.
