The New England Holocaust Memorial

Gaze up at the six 54-foot glass towers that comprise the New England Holocaust Memorial, and you're bound to be awestruck. Dedicated in 1995, each haunting tower is etched with numbers. The 6 million numbers represent the Holocaust's victims, while the towers symbolize the six major death camps. Additionally, a granite path adorned with quotes from survivors leads visitors inside the towers.
