number engraved on the
arm reaching skyward,
which rises from the center
of a reflecting pool.
The memorial stands as a
reminder "for our children
and the children of our chil-
dren," said Dr. Helen Fagin,
a member of the Holocaust
Memorial committee and
chairman of the United
States Holocaust Memorial
in Washington.
Along the wrist of the
bronze statue at the center of
the memorial cling tiny fig-
ures of men, women and
children crying out in terror.
The hand reaching out of the
reflecting pool looks to the
spectator like the last cry of
a drowning person.
Around the periphery of
the reflecting pool, which
stands at the center of the
memorial, are Roman
columns and a large semi-
circular black granite wall.
Engraved in one section of the
wall are graphic photos which
tell the story of the
Holocaust. Along another
section, on the other side of
an eternal flame, are the
names of 4,000 victims of the
Nazis.
"The Nazis wanted to do
away with Jewish names,"
Wiesel said in his speech.
"In keeping them alive, we
do justice to Jewish history.
We can read the names and
remember."
The memorial was
scheduled to officially open
to the public immediately
after the ceremony, but be-
cause of the heat and the
crowd, admittance was
postponed until the follow-
ing day. At least 10 people in
the crowd needed medical
care because of the heat.
"People are excited about
the memorial," said Miami
Beach Vice Mayor Abe
Resnick, who is one of the
memorial committee mem-
bers as well as a survivor.
"The3 • are excited about its
value to the community and
humanity in general."
One man attending the
ceremony who lost family
members to the Nazis
observed that the monument
was "a beautiful sight to see,
but it's heartbreaking."
Looking up at the statue of
the outstretched hand, he
said, "Wouldn't it be
wonderful if the world
wouldn't need a memorial
like this?"
