The Holocaust Garden of Hope is located at King's Harbor in Kingwood, Texas, and is comprised of mixed media, artwork, education and structures to make up the two of eight total planned exhibits. The project’s phase II was completed this fall.
Many of the exhibit structures consist of galvanized mesh wire gabions which hold stones painted by the community to memorialize each Jewish child executed during the Holocaust.
The Holocaust Garden of Hope in Kingwood, Texas, was inspired by Holocaust survivor Alex Pollak and founded by Rozalie Jerome, whose parents were survivors. Curated by Dr. Susanna Kokkonen, the garden uses art, personal stories, and educational exhibits to depict the experiences of children during the Holocaust and to honor the victims. Throughout its eight themed exhibits, the garden promotes remembrance, resilience, and the importance of standing against hatred and discrimination. Many of the exhibit structures consist of galvanized mesh wire gabions which hold stones painted by the community to memorialize each Jewish child executed during the Holocaust. In addition to the functionality and corrosion protection qualities, the hot dip galvanized coating on the steel framing and mesh wire caging also provides a unique artistic aesthetic. The galvanized gray patina coloring contrasts against the bright coloring of the small painted stones representative of the lost Jewish children. The resulting visual effect provides visitors with an experience to remember.
