Holocaust Memorial, Montevideo, War memorial in Punta Carretas, Uruguay.
The memorial extends 120 meters along the River Plate shoreline, constructed with pink granite and featuring a central window facing the sea.
The memorial, inaugurated in 1994, underwent renovations in 2016 following incidents of vandalism that required extensive restoration work.
Railway tracks and wooden bridge crossings within the memorial structure represent the transportation methods used during the deportation of Holocaust victims.
The memorial sits at the intersection of Rambla Presidente Wilson and Artigas Boulevard, offering educational programs about Holocaust history.
A stone stele within the memorial bears the signature of Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel.
