Boston holocaust monument

Posted on September 17, 2010 | 6 Comments

I stumbled upon this photo when I visited a Chicagoan in Montreal blog. He had snapped this photo of the Boston Jewish Holocaust Memorial. Considering Yom Kippur starts at sundown tonight, I thought it appropriate to post.

Cities around the world have built their own holocaust memorials, but the six glass towers and the path you walk through in Boston near Government Center is incredibly somber.

    I remember when this first went up. It truly is amazing – one of the most moving memorials – when you stop and study all those tiny numbers, each representing a lost life.
