The Monument stands as a silent and dignified space. It is a “Landscape of Loss, Memory and Survival” in which a star is created by six triangular volumes at each of its points organized around a large gathering space for ceremonies. Each one of these volumes provides a unique theme and ambiance for interpretation, contemplation and artistic expression. (Taken from the NHM design intent)
Please be respectful of this sacred space and take the time to reflect and digest the enormity of this time in our history.
