The Oregon Holocaust Memorial is an outdoor memorial dedicated to victims of the Holocaust.[1] Located in Portland, Oregon's Washington Park, the memorial was dedicated on August 29, 2004. Owned by the American Jewish Committee and constructed by Atlas Landscape Architecture and the Walsh Construction Company, the idea for a memorial was proposed in 1994 by Alice Kern and a local group of Holocaust survivors that met through the Oregon Holocaust Resource Center.[2][3][4] According to Fodor's, the memorial is open daily from dawn to dusk and admission is free of charge.[5]
