Holocaust Memorial

The New England Holocaust memorial is one of the most famous monuments in the city, and an amazing design to remember this tragic event in history. It has six massive glass pillars with millions of numbers on them. It includes the numbers branded on every Holocaust victim. Those tattoos were permanent. It’s not like  the Nazis just wrote on the victims...it was literally melted into their skin. (I’ve heard that, because of this, even now some Jewish parents tell their kids not to get tattoos because it reminds them of the terrible things the Germans(Nazis) did  in the Holocaust.) Most people that were in the Holocaust went in with their family and didn't leave with them, or even didn’t leave at all. And this is why we remember.
