The BC Holocaust Memorial, is also known as The Schara Tzedeck Cemetery Holocaust Memorial. It was built for, and by, Vancouver's Holocaust survivors but is also intended for future generations, in an effort to ensure the Holocaust is not forgotten.
The monument is a tall black structure, with two birds of peace shown in flight at the top. It rests on a large, round base on which is recorded the names of the concentration camps at which Jews were murdered during the years of the Holocaust.
In front of the monument are granite blocks inscribed with the names of murdered family members.
Names of Jewish family members who perished during the Holocaust can still be added to the monument.
