We will also visit the Park Itzhak Rabin / Mirante do Pasmado, with its privileged views over Botafogo beach and Sugar Loaf Mountain. On the way to Downtown, see Chaim Weitzman Square, a public school named after Anne Frank, and the neighborhood of Catete, where resident Jews formerly established a thriving furniture business.

Memorial As Vitimas Do HolocaustoThe Holocaust Memorial aims to preserve and make known the stories of victims and survivors of the genocide that hit Jews and other minorities to prevent them from being repeated. This space only opens from Thursday till Sunday, so plan your visit for one of those days if you really want to go there.
