The Famine Memorial in Dublin is a poignant reminder of the Great Famine that devastated Ireland in the mid-19th century. Created by artist Rowan Gillespie and unveiled in 1997, the memorial features six life-size figures dressed in rags, clutching onto their belongings and children. It serves as a powerful symbol of the suffering and resilience of those who endured the famine, with similar figures also found in Toronto's Ireland Park. The memorial stands on Customs House Quay, offering a somber reflection on a dark chapter in Irish history.
