Holocaust Memorial

Shoah victims' tribute

A Holocaust Memorial is a monument, museum, or dedicated space honoring the memory of the six million Jews and others systematically murdered by Nazi Germany during World War II.

Major examples include Yad Vashem in Israel and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

Such sites serve both as places of remembrance and as educational institutions warning against genocide and hatred.
