Resilience isn't just about surviving; it's about the courage to remember. At the corner of Castro and Market Streets, the Pink Triangle Park and Memorial stands as the first LGBTQ+ Holocaust memorial in the United States. Dedicated on December 10, 2001, it honors those who suffered under Nazi persecution in the 1930s and 40s.
With its fifteen granite pylons and an interactive gesture involving a single stone, the site turns a history of tragedy into a place of honor. By giving a permanent home to these memories, the community ensures that the strength of those who were persecuted is never forgotten.
