Oregon Holocaust Memorial, War memorial in Washington Park, Portland, United States.
The memorial features a stone bench with wrought iron gates surrounding a cobblestone circle, with bronze sculptures of shoes, glasses, and suitcases.
Dedicated in 2004, the memorial originated from a 1994 initiative by local Holocaust survivors who formed the Oregon Holocaust Survivors Refugees and Families Committee.
The memorial wall displays historical panels about the Holocaust, survivor quotes, and names of victims whose relatives lived in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
The memorial remains open daily from dawn to dusk without admission fees, with limited parking available in Washington Park during peak times.
The soil vault panel contains earth and ashes from six concentration camps: Chelmno, Treblinka, Sobibor, Belzec, Majdanek, and Auschwitz-Birkenau.
