In the fall of 1984, Dr. Helen N. Fagin asked
a small group of holocaust survivors to come up with an idea to developing
a memorial for six million Jews who had perished because of Nazi treatment.
They wanted to build something that would memorialize the victims, help those
who had survived, and teach the rest of the world about this horrible event.
The Holocaust Memorial is in Miami, Florida. The Holocaust Memorial took over
four years to be built. Its dedications took place on Sunday February 4, 1990.
Inside the memorial are statues of people struggling to survive. There is
also a big black granite wall with the names of those who both had survived
