Conceived in 1984 by a group of Miami's holocaust survivors, this memorial was dedicated in 1990. Although The Holocaust Memorial is a solemn reminder of crimes against humanity, it is also an inspiration that this kind of genocide never happens again. The Sculpture of love and anguish, the focal point of the site, overwhelms the visitor, as do the thousands of victims' names etched into the luminous black granite Memorial Wall. A memorable experience a few blocks from Miami Beach Convention Center.
