Overview

Following the successful September 11 Museum publications A Place of Remembrance and The Stories They Tell, No Day Shall Erase You will be the flagship book for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. It is the first and only official publication since the museum opened, and it is published to coincide with the 15th anniversary of 9/11. By bringing a visit to the September 11 Museum alive in book form, No Day Shall Erase You provides readers with an opportunity to (re)visit the museum, focusing on key themes and objects. Beginning with the monumental Tridents, and proceeding toward The Last Column and the Slurry Wall, the museum book will use narratives and photographs (from the museum and from the history of the objects) to emphasize the highlights of the museum's interpretation of the 9/11 story.
