The Holocaust Memorial of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation Miami Beach, Florida According to Helen Feigen, the historian, “A giant outstretched arm, tattooed with a number from Auschwitz, rises from the earth, the last reach of a dying person.

It commemorates the more than 1,000 Jews from Usti killed in the Holocaust. "It is one of the most powerful memorials we have because, whether intentionally or not, the Star of David half- submerged in the ground suggests that the Jews are rising up and sinking simultaneously, an apt metaphor for their history here," Kraus said.
