Gnarled and twisted by the wind, this Cypress, spews forth its limbs in a most artful manner.

And if it were only just art and not a chilling record of the unforgivable past.

"The Holocaust" by George Segal
We will never forget the genocidal slaughter of six million Jews, including one and a half million children, in the Nazi Holocaust of 1933-1945.
We will never forget the cruel apathy of a world which allowed that Holocaust and the deliberate murder of millions of other people to happen.
We will never forget the martyrs at that vil abyss in human history. Nor will we forget those Jews and the righteous of all faiths, who resisted and fought that evil.
In the emory of those martyrs and fighters, we pledge our lives to the creation of a world in which such evil and such apathy will not be tolerated.
It is with that memory and that resolve that we dedicate this memorial.
In remembrance is the secret of redemption. Dedicated November 7, 1984. (near Legion of Honor Museum, San Francisco)
