The memorial, designed by Israeli artist Yaacov Agam, is a kinetic sculpture that changes appearance as you walk around it, symbolizing the multifaceted nature of memory and history.
The sculpture consists of nine panels, each representing different aspects of the Holocaust, including the destruction, the hope, and the rebirth of the Jewish people.
Situated along the Mississippi River, the site was chosen to symbolize the journey and resilience of those who survived the Holocaust.
The New Orleans Holocaust Memorial was dedicated in 2003, serving as a reminder of the atrocities and the importance of remembrance.
It is located near the Riverwalk and the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, integrating it into a broader context of New Orleans' cultural and historical attractions.
