Canada's National Holocaust Monument is located at the intersection of Wellington and Booth Streets within the historic LeBreton Flats in Ottawa. It was designed by Daniel Libeskind and inaugurated on September 27, 2017.
Six photographs of holocaust sites by Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky are shown as murals on the concrete walls that vary in height and inclination.
