Oregon Holocaust Memorial

Quiet , somber , heartbreaking and beautiful. Bring some flowers or something to set at the wall for remembrance of all those lost. Please don't let your small children play and be loud around this quiet memorial.

What a moving monument. Ubered up to the Pittock Mansion from downtown then ran down the trails and up to Washington Park. Knew I wanted to visit the Sacajawea monument and the Lewis and Clark Monument. Was quite touched and taken aback with the Holocaust Monument. Loved reading about many of the facts then the entire backside were folks from the Pacific Northwest. What a touching monument.

I've visited quite a few memorials of the Shoah, but this outstanding monument in the lush and serene Washington Park in Portland especially struck me. The historical concise description of the Holocaust, etched on the left hand side of the main slab, conveys the incomprehensible dimensions of the worst European tragedy in history in a poignant, effective, heart-wrenching way. An attentive visit to this place should be a mandatory activity for anyone, in particular for young students. The educational value is immense. I could not help recoiling in deep tears, as once again I was overwhelmed with sorrow and shame for what was perpetuated to those minorities just barely eighty years ago. If you are planning a visit to Portland, OR,ake sure you set aside a few minutes to dedicate to this place.

Emotional location. The memorial is beautiful and it draws you in to really appreciate a horrible part of history.

Never make an excuse to not further your knowledge about the world's history. A great memorial for those during this terrible piece of the past.

So powerful. Both the story and the sculpture really hit hard on why we can never allow such a thing to happen again.

This is a reverant spot in the middle of a residential district. Some great sculptures that tell a story without the need for words. People that were there while we stopped by were repectful as well. Good stop on way to gardens

Beautiful use of space. Be sure to take your time and notice the details. It is a very moving and spiritual place

A truly memorable place. A place you should take your children.

A place to reflect on the atrocities of human nature!
