Who is Commemorated?

The Six Million Jewish Victims of the Holocaust

Description

This memorial, covered in white plaster, is composed of three components: a main trapezoidal segment, with two wings, protruding slightly forward, from it. The central segment has a trapezoid section cut out of its center with a candle placed within it, a plaque beneath it, and a circle cut out of the portion above it. Both wings are shorter than the main segment and have blue Magen Davids painted at their tops.
