This dramatic tower, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was designed in the style of a famous Spanish building, the Giralda bell tower located at the Cathedral of Seville.

305-538-1663 | | | | | Description: SOUTH BEACH. Intensely moving, this memorial created by artist-architect Kenneth Treister honors victims and offers solace to survivors. Included in its design are an arbor that depicts the history of the Holocaust in black granite and a tunnel that opens up to "The Sculpture of Love and Anguish." This enormous bronze arm, with its base of writhing human forms, is variously interpreted as a symbol of despair or hope. The memorial also encompasses a reflecting pool and walls inscribed with the names of thousands of victims. The overall effect is visually and emotionally stunning.
