September 11, 2001 • Never Forgotten • Never Alone
The 25th Anniversary
One Community
One Memory
We remember the Russian-Speaking American community members who were taken from us on September 11, 2001. A quarter century later, their light has never dimmed.
About Our Memorial
On September 11, 2001, among the thousands of lives lost were Russian nationals and members of the Russian-American community: individuals with deep roots, families who loved them, and futures that were stolen.
This memorial ensures their stories are never forgotten. We honor their memory, support their families, and invite all who wish to stand in solidarity to join us in remembrance.
