A memorial in stained-glass at the United Nations is a tribute to the late Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld, 1905-1961, and the 15 U.N. staff members and U.N. peacekeepers who died with him. Their plane crashed while flying to a peace negotiation for the Congo Crisis in Northern Rhodesia. A U.N. Staff committee was formed to ask world-renowned Belorussian-born French Jewish artist Marc Chagall, 1887-1985, whose work Hammarskjöld had greatly admired, to create the memorial.
