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 antisemitism, the time to act on this project is now.
We furthermore believe that Brett Park in Teaneck (River Road at the intersection of Winthrop Road) is the ideal place for this project due to its accessibility to the community, available parking and visibility from River Road. Since the land in question is vacant and nothing will be displaced, this memorial will bring meaning and sanctity to the park and added prestige to the Township.
We urge the Teaneck Township Council to take the necessary steps to make this a reality

Why is this important?
The Teaneck Holocaust Memorial Committee has been working for 2 years to get a Holocaust Memorial created in Teaneck.
We 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.
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.
After doing extensive searches in the town, we furthermore believe that Brett Park (River Road at the intersection of Winthrop Road) is the best choice to establish the Holocaust Memorial due to its accessibility to the community, available parking and visibility from River Road. Since the land in question is vacant, nothing will be displaced and this memorial will bring meaning and sanctity to the park and to the Township.
