Before flying back to Reston today we spent a couple of hours this morning in Boston, walking to various sights in the city centre. We visited the New England Holocaust Memorial which comprises a memorial garden between two roads, the main feature if which is a series of six clear glass towers that you walk through. In the glass of each tower are etched the numbers of all those who perished in the Holocaust and selected quotations from survivors.
The glass towers are set over dark metal grilles, from which smoke constantly rises into the towers which are lit from within at night.
The above picture is from the website for the Memorial www.nehm.org/ as I did not manage to get a good photo and there is much more detailed information about the memorial on the site.
