More Information
Study the top of the Monument to Six Million Jewish Martyrs. Do you see how the flames suggest a menorah?
Nathan Rapoport’s affecting Holocaust memorial shows an apparent tangle of suffering figures. The flame-like arrangement, though, recalls the burning bush through which God spoke to Moses, promising to rescue His people (Exodus 3:2). In this way the sculpture seems to offer hope mixed with profound grief. A Polish native, Rapoport also created a monument to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
