The Nebraska Holocaust Memorial is in Wyuka Cemetray. It was dedicated on April 15, 2007 and serves for remembrance and education. This memorial is dedicated to the men, women, and children murdered in the Holocaust. This memorial also honors the survivors and liberators of the Holocaust.
Within the Memorial is a set of stones that surround the "Star of Remembrance" monument. These stones represent the 11 million people who were murdered by the Nazis and their allies. Within the "Sea of Stones" are bricks with the names of individuals murdered in the Holocaust. Other sections of the Memorial include the "Wall of Remembrance" with pictures from the Holocaust and a Butterfly Garden in memory of the one and a half million children murdered in the Holocaust.
Nebraska picked the memorial to be in this cemetery because it is the nation's only state cemetery. The memorial did not use any state funds for its creation. Almost 1000 donors contributed to the memorial and education programs.
