As the child of Holocaust survivors, I have been keenly aware of this Jewish and human tragedy since I was of school-age. Now at the age of 52, I see the youngest of the survivors reach old age and die. My own mother recently passed away at age 86 and thankfully she shared her story with me over the years.

There is an urgency to document and record the stories not only of suffering and brutality, but also strength, courage and survival. Such projects are an ongoing focus of many Holocaust related museums and institutions around the world.

As one who has a personal and professional interest in genealogy, I have had on my ‘to-do’ list a project to record my parents’ and grandparents’ experiences during the Shoah and afterward.

another project that I am pursuing in my spare-time is the identification and recording of known Holocaust related monuments, memorials, gardens, museums and libraries in North America. As a former archivist, I understood the need to find, organize and make this information accessible.

The geographic scope of the project includes the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America. Thus far, I have identified more than 300 sites. The database includes the group or agency responsible for each site, artist when applicable, date of creation, and other details. I include photographs wherever possible.

Many of sites identified so far are large-scale, well-known and in public spaces. Others are smaller in scale and found in Jewish cemeteries, on the grounds of synagogues and Jewish community centers. I was pleased to find sites in Central America and the Caribbean.

There have been similar attempts to create such a database, and I am hoping to collaborate with the groups or people sponsoring them to develop as comprehensive a database as possible. I invite readers to check my list and contact me with locations not yet recorded. While the list is fairly comprehensive already, I’m sure there are many, many sites that I am missing. Access the list here: http://jpreisler.com/HolocaustMemorialsNorthAmerica.pdf

Please send additions, photos and any corrections to me at: jhp1963@yahoo.com!
