On April 26, 1964, a group of Holocaust survivors and community leaders, including Dalck Feith, Harold Greenspan, Abram Shnaper, Joseph Smukler together with the Association of Jewish New Americans and the Federation of Jewish Agencies of Greater Philadelphia, presented to the City of Philadelphia a towering bronze sculpture that constituted the first public monument in North America to memorialize the victims of the Holocaust. Titled Monument to Six Million Jewish Martyrs, this sculpture was created by internationally renowned artist Nathan Rapoport, who was also a Holocaust survivor.
Located at 16th and Arch Streets at the head of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, it remains the only major public monument in Philadelphia dedicated to the remembrance of the Holocaust.
