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?" Information on inscribing names of Holocaust victims on the memorial's wall is available by writing the Holocaust Memorial Commit- tee, Inc., 2800 Biscayne Blvd., Suite 500, Miami, Fla. 33137.
