Vietnam Veterans Living Memorial

Reviewed By MEC15_12 - Sandwich, United States

Having grown up during the Vietnam War it was important for me to stop and visit this memorial while in Portland. As many others have stated I found this to be a beautiful and peaceful living memorial. The gardens and trees are exquisite, the circular walk and bridge allow one to walk in the peace and quiet of the grounds and remember the men and women who lost their lives during the Vietnam War. Along the walk there are beautiful panels broken down into short spaces of time from 1959-1975 that list the names of the fallen as well as what was taking place in towns throughout Oregon while these brave men and women were fighting so far away. Oregon has done a beautiful job remembering those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

Oregon Holocaust Memorial

Reviewed By sexybaby7399 - Oregon, United States

We visited here on a cold spring day during the coronavirus and were moved to tears by the poignant memorial featuring a marble wall etched with the names of the dead and survivors and a violin, a suitcase, shoes and a teddy bear. This poignant memorial includes earth and ashes from the six extermination camps built by the Nazis and used on Jews, Gypsies and b political opponents. If you don’t shed a tear or more you may not be human! I shed several! Highly recommended!

Portlandia

Controversial 36-foot sculpture of a woman that is placed on a landing from the third floor of the Portland Building.

Reviewed By 211pamelaq - Portland, United States

The largest woman of her kind. Viewed from inside the building across the street. Portland has many surprises hidden in plain sight. This is one.
