West of Calea Victoriei is the country's formal memorial to Romanian Jews and Roma who died in the Holocaust. The monument, the shape vaguely recalling a gas chamber, was unveiled in 2009 and was widely seen as the government's first step in acknowledging Romania's part in the destruction of European Jews during WWII.
