The Holocaust story is a hard one to tell. Creating a public memorial to the Holocaust is equally difficult. This brochure was designed to tell, through the moving imagery of the architecture itself, both the story of the Holocaust and the community-wide process that led to the national competition, fundraising, design, and completion of the memorial.
The gray-green duotones of the brochure reflect the gravity of the subject while capturing the essence of the architectural concept.
