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.
