A statement from Mural Arts Philadelphia identified the project as the "first large-scale publicly-commissioned mural dedicated to the Holocaust." "In all of our years of being Mural Arts, this might be the hardest project that we've undertaken," said Jane Golden, executive director of Mural Arts Philadelphia. "It will empower us all to seek empathy and understanding with everyone in our community. And that is the power of public art."
"The site is home to the oldest Holocaust monument in the United States," Golden said of the original bronze sculpture which is Nathan Rapoport's Monument to Six Million Jewish Martyrs.The sculpture is often adorned with rocks that have been placed at the bottom of it.
