This is a small park located near the Inner Harbor. There is a limited amount of metered street parking available and an over-priced garage within a reasonable walking distance. I recommend trying to find metered parking, for obvious reasons, if available. The memorial was dedicated in 1980 and cost $350,000. It has since been renovated at a cost of $400,000 and has less graphic images than before. Nearby Baltimore City Community College donated the land for the memorial. The memorial is a hang out spot for homeless and I saw used needles just laying on the ground. The memorial has a lot going on that you may not notice. It is a wide open memorial. The first thing that you will notice is the powerful quote by Primo Levi, a Holocaust survivor, on the wall that reads On both sides of the track, rows of red and white lights appeared as far as the eye could see. With the rhythm of the wheels, with every human sound now silenced, we awaited what was to happen. In an instant, our women, our parents, our children disappeared. We saw them for a short while as an obscure mass at the other end of the platform. Then we saw nothing more." You will also notice a large sculpture along the street. It is a very detailed piece by Joseph Shepherd who created the piece in 1988. It is an eye catching piece that depicts victims' bodies contorted in a rising flame. The sculpture's base is inscribed with a world famous quote from George Santayana, "Those who do not remember the past are destined to repeat it." The memorial itself is intend to represent a rail yard that the victims were brought to the concentration camps on. I can really see it too. There are a bunch of train rails that run through the yard and one end of the wall actually looks like a train. They have a triangle shaped plaque behind the sculpture between it and the wall which gives some background of the holocaust. The triangle is symbolic because that is how prisoner were labeled in the concentration camps. On a side note, the words on the plaque has somewhat of a Star Was effect. I really liked the formatting. The memorial is well maintained but because it is wide open and spacious, it is not given the respect it deserves. There were people riding scooters all through it while I was there and there were homes people shooting up along the wall. This memorial is different worth a visit. We should never forget the atrocities committed during the holocaust and this is a nice remembrance of the victims and a marker to keep the memory of what happened going. read more
