The city will build a Holocaust memorial garden at Queens Borough Hall to honor the 6 million Jews killed by the Nazis before and during World War II.

Outgoing Mayor Eric Adams and Queens Borough President Donovan Richards agreed to kick in $4 million in capital funds combined, while the borough’s state lawmakers said they will request another $2 million.

“It is not enough to say ‘never again’ — we have to live it with our actions too,” Adams said in a statement. “By preserving the stories of both victims and survivors, by creating a permanent space for remembrance and reflection, by promoting understanding and solidarity across generations, this memorial will live out the meaning of ‘never again.’”
