Welcome to the New York State Holocaust Memorial
We are developing the New York State’s Holocaust Memorial (NYSHM), a permanent monument in Albany, New York, to honor Holocaust victims and survivors and educate future generations about the lessons of history.
Our Mission and Purpose
- Build a permanent Holocaust Memorial in the state capitol.
- Educate students and the general public about the Holocaust.
- Honor Holocaust victims and survivors in New York.
- Collaborate with the State to update Holocaust education.
- Promote awareness to prevent hate and ensure history is not repeated.
Our Progress
We have made significant strides in our journey to establish a Holocaust Memorial in Albany. Our architectural rendering has gained the interest of the State Education Department and the State Museum. Together, we are committed to making this vision a reality.
What Makes Us Different?
Our Memorial is unique because it will provide a dedicated, accessible space for reflection and remembrance, connecting New Yorkers with the memories and lessons of the Holocaust. This is a vision for all New Yorkers, honoring the past to build a better future.
