Goldrich Family Foundation Children's Memorial
"Welcome to the Goldrich Family Foundation Children’s Memorial. There are 1.2 million holes of varying sizes that are drilled into stones affixed to the walls to memorialize the children killed during the Holocaust. They are of varying sizes to suggest the different ages of the victims. The idea for the holes was inspired in part by the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Jews consider the Western Wall the holiest place on earth because it is the only wall remaining from the Temple that thousands of years ago was the centerpiece of the Jews' relationship with God. Even today people can visit the Wall, and when they do, they usually place a small note in a crack in the Wall. Feel free to insert your own special note into one of the 1.2 million holes around you when you visit. The notes can be about anything. For example, they can be a letter to God, a reflection of your Museum experience, or even a letter to one of these victims. Thank you for visiting and taking time to remember the millions of victims.”
