THE HOLOCAUST
The German attempt to annihilate European Jewry between 1933 and 1945, took the lives of six million Jews. Although genocide was not unprecedented, the Holocaust was unique not just in its numerical magnitude. Never before had a state government attempted to annihilate an entire people who were not military enemies but a defenseless civilian population. Gypsies and German handicapped were marked for death as part of the holocaust. Nazi Germany tyrannized homosexuals, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Soviet prisoners of war, Polish nationalists and resistance fighters. Millions died as a result.
Elected by the German people in 1933, the Nazi party quickly instituted a totalitarian regime built on pseudo-scientific racial and anti-Semitic principals. The German people ardently supported the Nazi regime until the latter stages of World War II, when defeat was imminent. Hundreds of thousands of German citizens and nationals of other countries allied with the Germans were involved in the killing process either as guards at camps, members of mobile killing units, architects who designed gas chambers, engineers who built crematoria, railway personnel and bureaucrats who oversaw the distribution of the victims possessions’ including the gold in their teeth. Although many perpetrators claimed they had no choice, there is no record of anyone being punished for refusing to participate in the killings.
Though the Holocaust occurred as part of World Was II, it was in fact something distinct. Its objectives often directly impeded the military effort. Trains, materiel, soldiers and munitions needed for the war were used instead to deport Jews and kill death camp inmates. During the last twelve months of the war, when it was obvious that Germany was going down to defeat, the pace of killing continued and in certain cases increased in intensity.
Many countries and neutral international agencies were aware of what was being done to Jews and other victims. Few, if any, were willing to speak out in protest. To compound the horror, most countries closed their doors to those who tried to escape the Holocaust.

The Baltimore Holocaust Memorial, located at the intersection of Lombard and Gay Streets, was dedicated on October 6, 1997. Designed by Lynn Katzen and architect Jonathan Fishman, it replaced Arthur D. Valk's earlier Holocaust Memorial on the same site, built in 1980, which had become a haven for illicit activity. The two concrete monoliths that remain from the original memorial, as does Joseph Sheppard's sculpture, The Flame.
The Flame, founded by Fonderia Massimo Del Chiaro, was executed in 1987 and dedicated on November 6, 1988. Commissioned by Jack and Jean Luskin and Melvin and Jeanne Berger, it criticized for its explicit and graphic details, for being commissioned outside normal channels, and because it was an add on to the existing Valk work. The 11-foot tall bronze sculptural group depicts a group of emaciated concentration camp inmates huddled together being consumed by a fire. It stands on a 6-foot by 6-foot cylindric black granite base.
The following inscription appears around the top of the base:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemed to repeat it." - George San Tayana, 1863-1952

The sculpture depicts the horror of the Holocaust by portraying the emaciated victims’ bodies contorted in a ball of flame. The base of the sculpture bears the quote from George Santayana:
"Those who can not remember the past are destined to repeat it."
