On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the lives of 6 million Jews who were systematically murdered.
A table displays the names of groups persecuted by the Nazis at the Holocaust Victims Memorial on its opening day to the public in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Thursday, Jan. 19, 2023. The memorial tells the stories of the thousands of people who took refuge in Brazil during the Holocaust. – 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.
The main exhibition is a journey through a tunnel behind the central hall, depicting victims’ lives before, during and after the Holocaust. In the final part, life resumes in color — for those fortunate enough to have escaped the horror. Videos from families’ archives show births, celebrations and other snippets of life. And an interactive screen contains a database with information and photos of those who built new lives in Brazil.
The memorial is Brazil’s third Holocaust-focused institution inaugurated in just over a decade, following a museum in southern city Curitiba and another memorial in Sao Paulo. Levy said the idea was born three decades ago, but work only got off the ground with a municipal ordnance passed in January 2018 allowing for its creation.
