The official book created by the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, honors those lost—and celebrates the spirit of hope as it tells the story of rescue, recovery, and the building of the memorial plaza (opened on September 11, 2011), and the museum (opened on May 21, 2014).
In somber words and chilling photographs—some never before published—the book tells the story of the World Trade Center buildings; the earthshaking attack; the aftermath, as anxious rescue efforts became months-long recovery; the public debate over how to commemorate those lost; the plans finally approved for a plaza and museum. Included is a chapter dedicated to the nine-story underground 9/11 Memorial Museum, containing exhibits that honor the meaning of 9/11 and the nation's response to the disaster.
