Daniel Libeskind has been selected among two other renowned artists to design the Ohio Statehouse Holocaust Memorial in Columbus. The 18-foot tall memorial brushed stainless-steel memorial will be punctuated by the six-pointed Star of David and accompanied by a 40-foot walkway with words etched in limestone.
A completion date has yet to be established, as Richard H. Finan, chairman of the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board believes a memorial with a Jewish religious symbol will be subject to legal challenges from the American Civil Liberties Union and other organizations because of the separation of church and state.
