However he did try to make his sort of representative of the human idea, in his own way. It was an amazing exhibit that really made me think about people in a different way.<br><br>Love the food pictures!Letterpresshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13983311236791267553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029419016699075320.post-64384326167736189782011-08-23T08:44:22.593-07:002011-08-23T08:44:22.593-07:00That Holocaust memorial has been fairly controvers...That Holocaust memorial has been fairly controversial, both for its appearance and for the fact that it references only Jews. However, I think what made it more than a concrete graveyard for me was that variation in height and the undulating ground. You can walk into it and, staying erect, completely disappear. When you are in one of the low points and the tops of the concrete blocks are high overhead, it feels as if you are almost encased in concrete. I thought it was very effective.Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14967428008627538620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5029419016699075320.post-23120693673442061782011-08-23T07:22:45.009-07:002011-08-23T07:22:45.009-07:00That Holocaust memorial has never been one of my f...That Holocaust memorial has never been one of my favorites...Perhaps it is more impressive and meaningful in person?
