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.

Angie Osmanski

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.

Melissa Rose

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.

Patrice M Foster

Interesting place I could feel the energy as I read the words of the victims words very powerful experience.

Kevin Montano

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.

Jake Smith

Bring a stone to leave at the site. A chilling tribute to the victims .

Antonio Martins

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.

Sort of tripped into this... Very powerful. Read all the quotes. And try to understand the staggering list of numbers.

Marques Stewart

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.

Bruno Renkin

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
