Overview
- A 173-foot tower crane hoisted the early 20th-century car into a bay window overlooking the Freedom Trail near Boston Common.
- The museum describes it as the type believed to have transported Jews from Nazi-occupied Europe to extermination camps.
- Conservator Josh Craine led roughly six months of restoration and said he was gratified to see the piece in place.
- Relatives of survivors and victims, including board member Susan Servais and Jon Applefield, described the installation as deeply emotional.
- Donated by Scottsdale resident Sonia Breslow after years in Arizona storage, the car was originally found in a Macedonia junkyard and will remain as construction continues.
