The Holocaust Garden of Hope, situated on the shores of Lake Houston in Kingwood, Texas, serves as a poignant memorial dedicated to the Holocaust. Created by the Holocaust Remembrance Association, it features installations that incorporate artwork and sculptures reflecting various experiences of the Holocaust. The garden's founder, Rozalie Jerome, emphasizes the importance of using art and events to emotionally engage visitors, promoting understanding and compassion rather than simply presenting facts. The initiative aims to ensure that visitors learn valuable lessons from history to prevent future atrocities.
"It's very important that we get involved in making sure, not that just people know these stories. It's bigger than that; it's that people understand what led entire communities to really participate in such an atrocity." - Basya Benshushan
"There's a lot of museums everywhere and a lot of schools, a lot of places to learn the data, but what we're trying to do here with art and with poetry... we try to touch the heart." - Rozalie Jerome
