Description:
Recipient of the prestigious AIA Henry Bacon Medal for its inspirational architecture, this sobering memorial remembers the six million Jews murdered during WWII. The memorial features six 54-foot tall glass towers, each hovering above its own concrete pit filled with smoldering coals that illuminate the name of a concentration camp inscribed on the pillar. Extensive narrative texts at the site further inform visitors about the horrors of war. In addition, the site regularly hosts remembrance ceremonies.
