Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Liberation (Holocaust memorial)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s):

The national days of remembrance were created because of the U.S. role in saving victims of the Holocaust during World War II. This is the book produced by the U.S. military for world-wide U.S. military observances, and is a crucial part of the story about the Days of Remembrance as a national observance.

Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
Because the book is an official publication, but the memorial depicted on it is most likely copyrighted, it is a difficult situation to resolve in terms of finding a free image. This non-free use rationale seems to be the appropriate approach to the use of this image.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) Using only one photo of the monument for the article -- and that photo is only part of the larger image, which is the cover of an official Department of Defense publication.
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
Photos of this sculpture are widely shown on the internet in a large number of places. Use of the photo (especially as part of a larger image of a U.S. government publication

should have no negative commercial consequences for any individual.

Other information The author of the image has released the photographic work under a free license, or it is in the public domain: I release the photo into the public domain if it is not already considered to be there. It is simply a photo of the book cover of a U.S. government publication, created by employees of the U.S. Government (Department of Defense) in pursuit of their official duties.
