The New Orleans Holocaust Memorial Sculpture is an artistic visual prayer in memory of the Six Million Jews of Europe and
those millions of other victims who were tortured and murdered by the Nazis
and their collaborators from 1933-1945.
The
sculpture is composed of nine panels, each with different designs. As
you view the scupture from different angles, the designs on the panels meld
to form distinct images. Ten images come into view as you walk around
the panels. Click a link on the left for an interpretion of each view. The artist, Yaacov Agam, an Israeli, is the pioneer of kinetic art. Born in 1928, Agam's works are included in the collections of the world's major museums.
