Documenting the New Haven Holocaust Memorial

New Haven is home to the first Holocaust memorial built on public land in North America. The NHOHP is partnering with Greater New Haven Holocaust Memory, Inc. to interview the city officials, local Holocaust survivors, architects, and others who played central roles in developing the memorial, which observes its 30th anniversary this year.

The interviews will form a central part of an exhibit about the memorial that will open at the Jewish Community Center in Woodbridge, CT in April, 2007.
