This Holocaust Memorial aims to be a landmark for Peace. It offers a place for visitors to isolate themselves from the strong dialectic elicited by the juxtaposition of the Memorial and the existing boardwalk of Atlantic City, and to immerse themselves in the Memorial’s significance - that we are all members of the human family and that these atrocities should never happen again. The Memorial’s form relates to geometries derived from the Star of David and is to be materialised in Corten steel to create the monolithic envelope. That is then carved out to reveal the space of the interior and to lighten its presence on the boardwalk. The interior comprises six chapels embedded in the pointed folds to the north and south. These six represent the inhab-ited regions of the world; N. America, Europe, Asia, S. America, Africa, and Australia - surrounding the central space of global congregation.
