Sydney Gay and Lesbian Holocaust Memorial

Local nameSydney Gay and Lesbian Holocaust Memorial
LocationDarlinghurst, New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Holocaust Memorial Project was founded by a group of community activists. Over the years they raised funds and decided, with South Sydney City Council, on the site at Green Park in Darlinghurst, in Sydney, Australia. Darlinghurst is considered the heart of Sydney's gay and lesbian population. Green Park is adjacent to the Sydney Jewish Museum, which ensures that the memorial retains its historic meaning.

The memorial was built to honor all gay, lesbian and bi men, women and gender-diverse people who have been murdered, tortured and persecuted because of their sexuality. It recreates symbols that were predominantly used throughout the Holocaust; a pink triangle to identify homosexual men, and a black triangle to identify lesbian women.The memorial is a "pink triangular prism, made of enameled steel, and a grid of black steel columns in the form of a triangle".
