New England Holocaust Memorial, Holocaust memorial in the US
The New England Holocaust Memorial, located in Boston's historic Freedom Trail, is an emotional testament to the horrors of the Holocaust.
Inaugurated in 1995, this heart-wrenching memorial was designed by Stanley Saitowitz and commemorates Holocaust victims from all over Europe.
Symbolizing the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust, the memorial consists of six glass towers inscribed with unique narrative content representing major Holocaust extermination camps.
The memorial is open 24 hours a day to visitors. It serves as a stark reminder of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust.
The towers are set on a translucent, black granite path permeated with steam that rises ominously- a metaphorical testament to the disturbing history it represents.
