Holocaust Memorial
The New Orleans Holocaust Memorial Sculpture is an artistic
visual prayer in memory of the Six Million Jews of Europe and those
millions of other victims who were tortured and murdered by the Nazis
and their collaborators from 1933-1945.
The sculpture is composed of nine panels, each with different
designs. As you view the scupture from different angles, the designs
on the panels meld to form distinct images. Ten images come into view
as you walk around the panels.
The artist, Yaacov Agam, an Israeli, is the pioneer of kinetic
art. Born in 1928, Agam's works are included in the collections of
the world's major museums.
