Grand Rapids first Holocaust memorial is set to debut at the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in 2022.
The initiative was spurred by a gift from the Jewish Federation of Grand Rapids and a donation from the Pestka family.
Linda and Steve Pestka are the children of Henry Pestka who was a Holocaust survivor.
They were looking for a way to honor their late father and the six million Jews that were murdered in the Holocaust.
Linda says she was excited at the idea of using artwork to help tell the history of events in an accurate way.
