Cocoanut Grove Tragedy Documentary

On November 28th 1942, the Cocoanut Grove Nightclub fire took the lives of 490 people and sent over 1,000 other individuals to every major Boston metropolitan hospital. At the time, it was the worst loss of life in the United States since the attack on Pearl Harbor and today is still the second deadliest fire in American history. As a result of the fire's magnitude and the investigations that followed, the Cocoanut Grove has been responsible for life saving medical advances in burn treatment, overhauled building codes, and improved fire safety regulations that have saved countless lives over the last 75 years. ​here is, however, no appropriate memorial in New England to honor those 492 victims, nor the first responders of the worst tragedy in the history of the City of Boston. The Cocoanut Grove Memorial Committee, a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, was established in 2015 to help Boston recognize this historic event, allow future generations to learn, and to help those currently in need. ​Our objective is to create a memorial that preserves and honors the memory of the victims, survivors, first responders and medical professionals.
