Say Yes to Holocaust Memorial in Teaneck's Brett Park
We, the undersigned residents of Teaneck, New Jersey, believe that it is important to create a Holocaust Memorial in the Township of Teaneck to memorialize those who perished in the Holocaust and establish a place for the community to use for reflection and education about the tragedy of genocide and the lessons of tolerance. With the rise of racism and global antisemetism, the time to act on this project is now.
We furthermore believe that Brett Park in Teaneck is the ideal place for this project due to its accessibility to the community, available parking and visibilty from River Road. Since the land in question is vacant, this memorial will bring meaning and sanctity to the park and to the Township.
We urge the Teaneck Township Council to take the neccesary steps to make this a reality

Why is this important?
We are a committee that has been working for 2 years to get this project realized. After doing extensive searches in the town, we believe that this is the best choice to establish the Holocaust Memorial. We believe that time is of the essence as each year the amount of holocaust survivors is dwindling and soon there will be none left to bear witness to the horrors of the holocaust. We need the members of the Town Council to take action and make this important project a reality.
