  Went walking around Washington park and found this place. You see im not from portland, but I love reading holocaust diaries and studying it. But the qoutes and stories some had on the monument , I have no words. It really does touch you, some with tears and sadness. Many , many lives were torn apart. I can't imagine what it was even like.

  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

  I stumbled upon this while wandering around Washington Park, and the area brought a gush of feelings . . . the darkness of the subject matter juxtaposed against the beauty of the day made the stories I've read seem so real. I loved the recognition of the families in Oregon. It's hard to enjoy something so dark; but, the artist does such a good job making the viewer feel the raw emotion. I'd suggest all visit this beautiful tribute to the tragedy we strive to never repeat.

  Very difficult to say nice things about a memorial place of the darkest days of the history of human race. Still, this one does the job very well. We should never forget. Should never happen again.

  We stumbled upon this memorial while perusing the park. It is touching and relevant. I appreciate this being here and that the memories for those who died so tragically are preserved here. The perspective from the art symbolizes what was left behind by the people forced out of their homes. The bear was exceedingly sad but for me represented the children of the Holocaust.
