In Paris, a new memorial dedicated to LGBTQ+ victims of the Holocaust has been unveiled, created by artist Jean-Luc Verna. The monument features a large star wand that is black on one side to evoke memory and danger, while the silver side symbolizes the swift passage of time and changing public opinion. Unveiled on an important date, the memorial aims to foster awareness and historical recognition. Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo underscored the significance of acknowledging past atrocities to prevent their recurrence.
The monument consists of a giant star wand lying on the ground, which is dark on one side and silver on the other, symbolizing memory and the passing of time.
Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo emphasized, 'Historical recognition means saying 'this happened' and 'we don't want it to happen again', reinforcing the importance of remembrance.
