Summary and Remarks
History

In the years proceeding and after World War II the City of Chicago welcomed refugees and survivors of the war and the Holocaust. 

The design, installation, and upkeep of a 50,000-square-foot perennial garden were dedicated as a gift to the City of Chicago in thanks for its welcome of thousands of Holocaust survivors.

The donors’ family was Jewish, but many refugees to Chicago were Latvians, Lithuanians, and Ukrainians, some of whom collaborated with the Germans but were allowed to emigrate to the United States rather than face repatriation in Communist countries.
