The striking building, designed by Belzberg Architects, opens this week and features a generous green roof that acts as an extension of the adjacent Pan Pacific Park. The project was designed to express one of the darkest moments in human history - a buried organic form greets visitors as they descend into a unique museum space that memorializes those who died and survived the holocaust.

LA had a holocaust?
i find it really weird that there are holocaust museums completely outside of where the holocaust actually took place. should we have a pearl harbor museum in helsinki? a bataan death march museum in nairobi?

If you find this project "weird." You are going to love the ideas competition for a new Atlantic City Boardwalk Holocaust Memorial...

Belzebub Architects? Oops, my bad.
k_view - a holocaust memorial i can understand much better than a museum completely displaced from the location of the holocaust
and no, that's not a critique of the museum as a response to the diaspora.

its like chinatown @ LA also has a confucous memorial^^
I agree with aspect. The Jews want to memorialize themselves everywhere
