NY Holocaust Memorial Garden

The mission of the Queens Holocaust Memorial Garden is to memorialize the Jewish victims of the Holocaust and to honor those heroes who resisted Nazi terrorism in ghettos, camps, on the battlefields of World War II and in the pursuit of a Jewish homeland. It honors  refugees who made their way to New York City, many of whom settled in Queens County, becoming intricate members of the borough’s mosaic fabric as well as New York Society.

This memorial cultivates a space of reverence and reflection on a prominent location on Queens Blvd, honoring the memories of those who perished as a result of man’s cruelty to man, those who fought with strength and valor and those who came to rebuild and enhance our City.

Help Us Build A Place Of Memory And Resolve

The Memorial, a permanent site of remembrance, education and unity will be located  at
120-55 Queens Boulevard on the southeastern lawn of Queens Borough Hall

The Queens Holocaust Memorial Garden’s composition merges symbolic architectural elements with a new landscape, creating a powerful complex of spaces that support reflection, remembrance and renewal. Two cylindrical rings—firmly grounded yet open to the sky and accessible to all —frame a central processional allée that
aligns with and frames the eastern entrance of Queens Borough Hall.
