The Holocaust Memorial in Tirana, Albania honors the more than 6 million lives lost and commemorates the courage of the Albanian citizens who bravely worked to save the Jews from Nazi forces. The memorial is prominently located at the Artificial Lake entrance of the Grand Park of Tirana. Three large curved granite panels set in a gently sloped paved berm, create a solace place for remembrance and reflection. Metal inlayed lettering along the granite pavers quotes the Talmud: “Whoever saves one life, saves the whole world”.
