National September 11 Memorial & Museum Releases A PLACE OF REMEMBRANCE: Official Book of the National September 11 Memorial

To mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, National Geographic has released A PLACE OF REMEMBRANCE: Official Book of the National September 11 Memorial ($19.95), in bookstores.

In concert with the book release, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum has also unveiled new displays at the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site.
Both the book and the updated displays at the Preview Site, 20 Vesey St., are dedicated to the 2,983 men, women and children killed in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, in New York, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon, and in the Feb. 26, 1993, World Trade Center bombing, and to their families and friends.

A PLACE OF REMEMBRANCE, with a foreword by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, who chairs the Memorial, was written by 9/11 Memorial staff members Allison Blais and Lynn Rasic and published by National Geographic. The book honors those who were lost, celebrates the spirit of hope in the aftermath of the attacks, and tells the emotional story behind the creation of the 9/11 Memorial. The afterword is by 9/11 Memorial President and CEO Joe Daniels.

Proceeds from A PLACE OF REMEMBRANCE will be used to support the Memorial. The book is available at the 9/11 Memorial Preview Site, at 911memorial.org, and at retailers nationwide.
