The Holocaust is an event that is being memorialized in many countries around the world as the gap between past and present grows and more Holocaust survivors pass away. These memorials attempt to both mark a time and an event but also capture the intense emotions of what is seen as the worst undertaking of modern man. The most well-known, and successful, structure to commemorate both the victims and survivors of the Holocaust is Pei Cobb Freed & Partners' United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. Much of its success at moving the visitor is the large amount of personal images and paraphernalia, which combine to overwhelm our senses but also tell us about each life taken, their hopes taken in a senseless act. In the process we come face to face with our own mortality and are reminded of the fragility and brevity of human life. New England Holocaust Memorial.Boston, Massachusetts
