Today we pay tribute to Kevin Thomas Duffy, the federal judge who brought justice to the terrorists who bombed the World Trade Center in 1993. Judge Duffy died on Wednesday from Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus.

Twenty years ago, the 2000 Census enumerated the makeup of the United States. Two veterans of that national process are commemorated on the names parapets of the 9/11 Memorial’s South Pool.

During our temporary closure, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum has reduced staff on site, but we have taken extraordinary measures to see the birthday rose commemoration continue without pause.

During this temporary closure, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum offers you the opportunity to explore a host of online resources.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum may be temporarily closed, but the Survivor Tree remains a symbol of growth and resilience.

The 2,977 people killed in the 9/11 attacks came from a wide range of backgrounds. On this St. Patrick’s Day, even as we are temporarily closed, we remember several people who celebrated their Irish heritage in personal objects they owned or whose loved ones memorialized them with Irish-referencing tribute items.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum will be temporarily closed starting March 13 as part of the New York City and New York State mandates to combat and contain the COVID-19 virus.

Last week, celebrated New York City restaurateur Danny Meyer participated in a public program at the 9/11 Memorial Museum as part of the “New York Stories” program series.

John O’Neill was a leading figure in the FBI’s fight against terrorism at home and abroad in the years leading up to 9/11. He repeatedly sounded the alarm about the rising threat posed by organizations like al-Qaeda—and his life would ultimately be cut short in that group’s plot to attack the World Trade Center.

On Thursday, March 5, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum will host a public program featuring celebrated restaurateur Danny Meyer, who will reflect upon the impact of the 9/11 attacks on New York City and the restorative role of restaurants as sites of community and connection.
