Main exhibition in new memorial showcases the lives of Jews and others before, during and after the Holocaust accompanied with pictures and video footage
Ynet reports that Rio de Janeiro on Thursday opened the doors to a Holocaust Memorial that honors not only Jewish victims, but also lesser-known groups likewise persecuted by the Nazi regime.
Curators hope that the memorial, perched atop one of Rio's shapely hills with a view of Sugarloaf Mountain and the Guanabara Bay, becomes a pilgrimage site for a diverse audience.
"Nazism is not only a history of victimized Jews. They were the main target, but others also suffered," said Sofia Levy, a member of the curatorial team. "The message is: don't ever think it doesn't concern you."
