The WWII museum in Kiev, Ukraine has a room dedicated to the Holocaust, with
part of one of the ovens, memorabilia, and a sculpture. The WWII memorial in
St. Petersburg, while not specifically a Holocaust memorial, is a powerful
reminder of the Nazi campaign. It is a open-air park with mass grave trenches
marked only by dates. Somber classical music is played over the loudspeakers,
and rose gardens grow on the top of the trenches. I think something like
200,000 of the estimated 1,000,000 that died in St. Petersburg are buried there.
The unmarked graves make it in some ways more moving than the Vietnam memorial.
