The Baltimore Holocaust Memorial is a powerful and poignant tribute to the victims of the Holocaust, located at the intersection of Lombard and Gay Streets in Baltimore, MD. The memorial features a striking sculpture by Joseph Sheppard, depicting the horror of the Holocaust through emaciated bodies engulfed in flames, accompanied by a thought-provoking quote from George Santayana.
Surrounded by a concrete triangle representing the badges worn by Holocaust victims, the memorial also includes vintage railroad tracks, symbolizing the transportation of millions to concentration camps, and massive concrete blocks reminiscent of railway boxcars. Inscribed with the words of Holocaust survivor Primo Levi, the memorial serves as a solemn reminder of the atrocities committed during this dark period in history.
