This memorial is absolutely incredible. Not only is it a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing structure but it is also so moving and full of history and sentiment. It is such a great place to reflect upon the horrific events that the Holocaust represents but also a great way to honor those who perished during those times. It really serves as a reminder of how humanity plays a role in evil acts when we are complacent with things that happen around us. I really enjoyed reading all the quotes on the monument and I shed a lot of tears during my visit. I strongly recommend a visit to this beautiful memorial.

Unbelievably moving. Take your time walking through it, don't let anyone rush you. It is an experience everyone should have.

✡️ Sobering, Moving - A Beautiful Tribute and a Harrowing Reminder ✡️ As you walk the Freedom Trail through Boston, you may pass a series of six, glass towers (54 feet high). Take the time to stop and experience this memorial, as it will leave you reflective, reminded, and changed. The architecture and symbolic design of this memorial cannot be overstated. It begins with six glass towers, representing the 6 million Jews killed during the Holocaust. Each tower is lined with a pit of fire, from which smoke emits into the chamber above. Memories of camp survivors are etched on the glass walls as you pass through, as are millions of numbers--each symbolic of an individual life. These numbers "tattoo" themselves on you as you walk by, and the light casts them as shadows over your skin. In the words of the memorial itself: "These six towers are emblems of faith, a covenant of trust that memorializes a collective evil." Stop. Remember. Reflect.

What an incredibly moving Monument. I was overcome with emotion while visiting. The Monument consists of a walkway lined with informative stones and plaques and six glass towers. Each tower is etched with 1,000,000 numbers, each representing one Jewish life lost among the estimated 6,000,000 who died during the Holocaust. The enormity of the tragedy is just overwhelming. Each tower has a heated vent at its base to preserve the glass during colder temperatures. You walk through a pathway through the base of each tower. Looking up you see all of the etching. In addition there are small quotes and stories on the inside of the towers, many of which moved me to tears. It will leave you somber and a bit humbled and sad but I still recommend visiting.

Such a beautiful and touching memorial. Peaceful, impactful, meaningful quotes, the history - so powerful!

I would definitely stop here. It only takes 10 minutes but it is moving. It had me in tears. It's weird because the city is so loud and busy but it felt quiet and sacred and reverent right there in the middle of it all. Take a walk through and read the signs.

Back to Boston. We remember. New England Holocaust Memorial. This is our second visit to this memorial founded by Holocaust survivor Stephan Ross. The memorial was designed to inspire remembrance, reflection, and hope. We read that it is "A beacon of light to fight darkness, these luminous spires stand more than 50 feet high, engraved with numbers representing the six million Jews killed during the Holocaust". We have been in other Holocaust memorials in Europa and this one is very inspiring. #abuelosmochileros_boston #abuelosmochileros_massachusetts

The New England Holocaust Memorial, a solemn masterpiece rising like a poignant sonnet in Boston's landscape. Its six glass towers, etched with numbers, stand as pillars of remembrance, summoning the shadows of history. The haunting beauty of the smoke-like structures intertwines with the resilience of the human spirit, creating a memorial where the echoes of the past resound with dignity. In this sacred space, visitors traverse a narrative etched in glass and stone, a testament to the enduring power of memory and the collective hope for a world free from such darkness. Never Forget!

It is not easy to find a parking spot around anywhere in Boston, but if you specifically want to visit this open air museum, park anywhere around entrance of North End neighborhood or Quincy Market and walk there. As I mentioned, open air display, right across Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, in a strip like park, with all kinds of bars and small restaurants right to the side of it. Make sure you read all the inscriptions and stop by the vents that mock the gas chambers to experience the heartbreak and chills of history, one that repeats itself over and over again.

Gorgeous and moving memorial. Really quite an experience to walk through and think of. I would highly recommend visiting it, moving.

Amazing and touching. It was very well made and it really puts in perspective how large of a moment in history the Holocaust really was. This is by far one of the best places in Boston to visit.

Especially in these polarizing times, the memorial is a poignant reminder of where extremism can lead. The unfathomable array of numbers on the glass and choice saying engraved around the site should both be celebrated and give us all pause. A great place for reflection, somber consideration of self, and rememberance of a time where an entire demographic was targeted for elimination from the human genome.

I’ve never left reviews of attractions but this one is a must if you’re in Boston. Passed by very unintentionally but it stands out enough to make people gather and wonder what it is. Very chilling but beautiful at the same time. Really makes you reflect. It’s built so well and the best memorial I’ve seen.

An amazing place that goves the shiver about holocaust experience and memories. The place is dynamic and not static. The constant flow of vapors, tall glass components and stories written on the signs are a trully touching experience. An impressive piece of art and memory. 😪

Visited the Memorial on my recent trip to Boston. The memorial is as powerful as it is beautiful.

As a humans we have no right to forget this tragedy. We have to remember. We have to learn the history. We have to remember because evil always come back.

Powerful reminder - I visit every time I am in Boston

Very moving and well thought through memorial.

A very sobering experience reading the anecdotes of the concentration camps during the Second World War. Brings a lot into perspective what is going on with Palestine and Israel, and how we must learn about history accordingly. Regardless, worth a visit to learn about history we must not forget in its entirety.

Walking back to our hotel, we happened upon this memorial. Having recently been in Amsterdam and Paris where we learned more about the Holocaust, this memorial was equally humbling and reflective. The six panels contain quotes from survivors who talk about loved ones killed in the six concentration camps. There are millions of numbers etched all the way up the panels. I can only imagine they are the actual numbers that were burned into each captive’s arm. This memorial helps us remember the atrocities.

It is difficult to comprehend what happened to millions of Jews throughout the war. We must all work together to remember and achieve world peace.

Amongst a thriving and exciting downtown you may get a chance to walk through this memorial. And you absolutely should. It is built to provoke and reflect, and it does exactly that. Spend the time to read the stories and memories, and think about what this all meant and still means to this day. If you have young children then you should take them here and explain to them what this memorial is about. This is a modern Boston treasure not to be missed. It’s anywhere from 10 to 25 minutes to experience this.

Stunning! Such a nice place of remembrance and honor.

It is easy to miss this memorial as it is right along a busy road and a bar street. At first glance it just seems like a small park, but when you walk up to the monuments... I recommend going here when it is dark, as you walk under the columns, you can look down and it looks like a starry sky, which makes it more surreal when you look up and realize just how many names are etched around each column against the true night sky. A hazy misty rises from the grates as you walk over that can give a more unearthly quality to the memorial. I went here with my sister who loves history and there are a lot of starling facts on the information stands as you walk along the memorial. Easy to add this onto a walking exploration of the area including the old state house, Christopher Columbus waterfront park Faneuil hall marketplace and the Paul revere house.

The memorial is somewhat small but very tasteful. I really appreciated that it is set in such a public place and alongside the Freedom Trail. Our tour included it as a special stop even though it is not an official part of the Trail.

A chilling experience. Thank you to those heros that fought to end the holocaust. #NeverForget

Cool area that stops and make you think about the history of this event. Definitely worth checking out

I thought this was a mister to cool off from the heat when I noticed the numbers... Then as I walked through I realized the sparkles at the bottom represents the ashes of the lost souls. Dang this is a heavy memorial. Highly recommend a visit tho.

Wow this is an easily overlooked spot in downtown Boston, and I say that just because I sure did overlook it for years. It's a simple open air memorial, more of a public park really, wedged into quite a small space. I'd say plan to give this exhibit at least 30 minutes, but there is no doubt it can be worthy of more depending on the individual and the circumstances. Moving, effective, educational, inspiring...I will be back for more on my next visit to Boston. Highest recommendation.

Very emotional. I had heard the number and never truly grasp the meaning of it until presented with something tangible. Each pillar is etched, top to bottom, with a number corresponding number of someone who was at the camps.

Very well-done memorial. The towers with the victims’ numbers going all the way up help to imagine the sheer magnitude of 6 million. Very moving with the quotes from survivors. Took about 10-15 minutes to read the quotes and walk through—definitely worth a visit.

Beautiful and masterfully done memorial. I love that's it's right out in the middle of the city like that. Unassuming towers until you walk through, start reading, and realize where you're at. When you start looking at all of the numbers on each tower, it really hits you how massive this event was.
