A 40’-0” by 60’-0” concrete enclosure; each wall has been cast directly from the ground adjacent and then tilted into place. A square plinth of granite inscribed with the memorial’s title and date sits on the boardwalk outside the entry. Once inside, the visitor walks through a concrete corridor lit by a thin opening above. This leads into a walled garden open to the sky where a large horizontal cut on the opposite wall displays a view of the horizon. Two mirrors spaced apart and tilted at 45 degrees (much like a periscope) capture this view and a prism inverts its. The horizon has been turned upside down, with the heavy weight of the water moving above the sky. Visitors rest their hands on a bronze handrail inscribed with the names of the extermination camps.
