About the Virtual Tour of the Oregon Holocaust Memorial
The idea for the Oregon Holocaust Memorial was conceived in 1994 by a local group of Holocaust survivors. Their goal was to honor the memory of those who were murdered in the Holocaust, and to educate people about the horrific consequences of hatred and discrimination.
This self-paced and self-guided tour virtual tour makes it possible for anyone to visit the Oregon Holocaust Memorial from wherever they are located. As with an in-person tour of the Memorial, this virtual experience provides an opportunity for remembrance and reflection.
A teacher’s guide is available at no cost. The guide includes anticipatory questions, a graphic organizer for students, a classroom discussion guide, and extension resources and lessons. Request the teacher’s guide here.
