Preliminary Designs for Pittsburgh Synagogue Attack Memorial Unveiled

The memorial, adjacent to the Tree of Life synagogue, features 11 sculpted forms of open books, each representing a victim of the 2018 attack.

Preliminary designs for a memorial to honor the victims of the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue attack have been unveiled.
The memorial, located adjacent to the Tree of Life synagogue, features a walkway leading to a garden with 11 sculpted forms of open books, each representing one of the victims.
The design represents the 'Book of Life,' where, according to Jewish tradition, the righteous are named.
The memorial is the result of years of deliberation by the families of the victims, who sought to honor the lives of their loved ones rather than solely focusing on how they died.
The project is still in its early stages, with details such as the selection of materials and the wording of interpretive signs yet to be decided.
