The design for Canada's National Holocaust Monument was unveiled in Ottawa Monday.
The team behind the winning concept includes world-renowned architect Daniel Libeskind, who also designed the Jewish Museum in Berlin and the original concept for Ground Zero in New York, Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky, Quebec architect Claude Cormier and University of Toronto Holocaust scholar Doris Bergen.
The monument will stand on a 0.79 acre site in Ottawa, directly across from the Canadian War Museum.
The monument will be composed of six triangular concrete structures put together to echo the Star of David. The triangular spaces are also meant to represent the badges worn by the numerous groups victimized by the Nazis during the Second World War.
The monument is slated to open in fall of 2015.
