98 Union Street (btwn Hanover & North) Boston , MA 02109 United States
Such a very powerful and chilling monument to visit. Seeing the numbers as the steam rises up puts the impact of this horrid event into perspective and makes clear why we must never forget.
I got the chills walking through here because of the harsh reality. But it's good to be reminded what we've fought for
One of the most sobering yet beautiful Holocaust memorials I've seen to date. It's not large but it's powerful.
The memorial, itself has a very simplistic design. However, the design also has a powerful impact . Walking through and looking at the numbers was a humbling experience.
Interesting place I could feel the energy as I read the words of the victims words very powerful experience.
Visitors often leave stones at the site of the Memorial, reflecting the ages-old Jewish custom of marking a graveside visit.
Breathtaking. Sad. Necessary. Look at all the numbers written on the glass and take a moment to think of all the lives lost for NO REASON and lets make the world a better place.
Bring a stone to leave at the site. A chilling tribute to the victims .
The numbers (the ones used in the Nazy Camps to identify the Judes) instead of the names give us a good understand about the dimention of the war's horror.
It's a must visit if you're in Boston. The quotes written here are so powerful, they tug at your heart strings.
Work of San Francisco artist Stanley Saitowitz. Consists of 6 54' glass columns with numbers 1-6 million (# of Jewish victims ). Air from vents said to represent human breath. More info in blog.<LINK> Read more
It's really chilling when you learn what the steam is meant to represent
It's incredible walking through here, especially in the winter. Haunting.
This monument , built in 1995, is covered with etched numbers recalling the 6 million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Six glass towers represent the chimneys of WWII concentration camps.
Sort of tripped into this... Very powerful. Read all the quotes. And try to understand the staggering list of numbers.
In the Jewish tradition, rocks are placed on tombstones instead of diets.
Worth a stop when nearby to pay honor to the lives that were lost.
For the second time this summer of 2017, the Memorial has been borken by neo-nazi. Shame on these morrons !
The Memorial was targeted for destruction in a 2002 white supremacist terror plot. Read more
Very thought provoking memorial.
Chris says "pretty cool after dark, what with all the mist and stuff"
Although there are only 2,280,960 numbers represented, the six glass towers represent the 6 million people that were killed.
A work of art , even if it is quite depressing
Powerful and elegant memorial
I accidentally jogged through here with my dog
Powerful and cool
Very moving
Numbers on the glass.
Never forget!
Mmm... Pequeño
Great museum to visit to understand the importance of free speech and how that very notion led to many protests/movements that shaped Boston and the United States. - Guy
