The Gay and Lesbian Holocaust Memorial is nestled in the heart of Green Park in the Darlinghurst neighborhood of Sydney. This memorial project was founded by a group of community activists and was created to pay tribute to the thousands of gay men and lesbians who lost their lives in the Holocaust.
This fascinating memorial is in the form of a pink triangle with black poles, in which the pink prism represents gay men and the black triangle composed of steel poles symbolizes lesbian women. The point where the two triangles come together ultimately forms a fractured Star of David.
While individuals are encouraged to visit the memorial at any time of day, it is an especially touching experience once the sun sets; it's at this time that the triangle glows, lighting up the area.
