Haddon Township Native Among Those Memorialized at Sept. 11 Memorial & Museum

A 29-year-old Haddon Township native who died during the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, is among those memorialized in the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Her brother, Peter, tells the Courier Post he has not yet visited the museum because it would bring too much pain. The museum opened on the site where the World Trade Center once stood on Thursday.

First responders and relatives of those who lost their lives in the 2001 and 1993 World Trade Center attacks were permitted to enter the Memorial & Museum for the first time on Wednesday.

Danielle Kousoulis’s sister, Eleni, walked the halls of the museum with her parents on Wednesday, according to the report.

Families of victims are able to give personal photos and create an audio description of their loved ones.

Twin pools stand outside in the footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood. The pools are nearly an acre in size, and are the largest manmade waterfalls in North America, according to the Memorial website.

Plaques surrounding the pools hold the names of victims that are arranged in a thoughtful way “that reflects the lives of the individuals they represent: their relationships with other victims, the companies they worked for, and where they were on 9/11,” according to the website.

Inside, families and mourners can browse exhibitions including the “Survivors’ Stairs” which led hundreds to escape to safety. Also on display is a historical timeline that tells the story of the events on 9/11 at the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon and on Flight 93.
