www.baldwinschool.org Survivor Anneliese Nossbaum speaks,
with David Adelman beside her.

Philadelphia native and I’m the chair of the USC
Shoah Foundation. I’m proud of this inspiring
memorial and important teaching tools that we will
add to it.”
“I grew up in Budapest, Hungary, and all four
of my grandparents are Holocaust survivors,” said
PHRF Acting Director Eszter Kutas, who was not
one of the speakers but was praised for her work in
creating the plaza several times during the speech-
es. “Th is project has been a personal calling for me
because of that legacy. It makes me extremely proud
and inspired to be able to participate in something
that is going to have a lasting impact for future gen-
erations in Holocaust education.”
In 2004, PHRF began brainstorming possible
ways to use the land surrounding the monument.

Th e foundation decided on a plaza, “an open public
space that’s accessible to everybody,” Kutas said.

Two and a half years ago, PHRF unveiled its
plans. Th en, on Nov. 28, PHRF broke ground and
construction began.

With its location at such a central point in the
city, some speakers noted that while many would
come to explore the plaza, many others would hap-
pen upon it accidentally.

“It’s just beautiful,” said Sarah Meller, a Holocaust
survivor who attended the opening. “I know so
many people will come here and read about it and
see and experience this. It’s really a good thing they
did this. It’s a wonderful memorial. Of course, a lot
of people come to Philadelphia to visit, a lot of tour-
ists, and this will be nice for people to see.”
“It’s just beautiful. I know so
many people will come here
and read about it and see and
