You can make a difference!

With your help we can create and everlasting dedication for future generations to remember the holocaust.

This is perhaps one of the most unique art sculptures depicting the Holocaust ever created. Many memorials in the past have done par excellence renditions illustrating the suffering of the Jews in the Holocaust as one would observe it from the present to the past; However, this extraordinary rendition exemplifies a view of the Holocaust from the past into the future, symbolizing the powerful message not to repeat such atrocities, but  repeat for all time the precious memories of those who perished. Their memories will never perish and must never perish!  As the public views the sculpture in front of the entrance of the Chabad of Cobb in Marietta, Georgia, they will experience the cries of the victims so viciously destroyed.

     The individual points represent souls from each generation; each point represents a stage in a human being's life. Six million people were slaughtered including one million children who were murdered. The stainless steel sculpture ranges from 3 feet to 7 feet in height with a marble and concrete base. The flames, which are in the shape of the Hebrew letter shin (this letter among other things represents traditionally the Shema spoken from the lips of a dying Jewish person), are textured in shaded stainless steel to represent the blood of the 6 million reaching up to the Creator.
 
     An aerial view shows the six main points of the sculpture perfectly formulate the Star of David, and as the sun sets, the shadow from these points accomplish the same result. 

     Ensure that we never forget the unbridled cruelty that sought to destroy the Jewish people for all eternity. Don't delay; open your heart and donate today! Help make the Holocaust Memorial Project a reality for future generations.
