Gay & Lesbian Holocaust Memorial

In Green Park, Darlinghurst, a pink triangular prism sits inside a grid of black steel columns laid out as a fractured Star of David. This is Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Holocaust Memorial, unveiled in 2001 after years of community fundraising. It was one of the first memorials anywhere to the pink- and black-triangle prisoners of the Nazi regime. The site was picked on purpose, right next to the Sydney Jewish Museum. The park is free and always open. It sits at the corner of Victoria and Burton streets, near Qtopia in the old Darlinghurst police station, and Oxford Street is a few minutes' walk away.
