Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach — in Miami Beach, FL

Conceived in 1984 by a group of Holocaust survivors in Miami, the Holocaust Memorial in Miami Beach is a profound experience. Miami Beach is a perfect location for the site, as the South Florida area is home to several Holocaust survivors. Before its construction, objections were raised by some who believed that Miami Beach was a symbol of fun and that a holocaust memorial would put a damper on that image. However, this memorial got approval after the survivors pleaded their case. A solemn reminder of crimes against humanity, The Sculpture of Love and Anguish can be a heart-wrenching reminder of the past. The victims' names etched into the luminous Memorial Wall is one of the most emotional reads visitors are likely to experience.
