Rather than wondering about the abundance of religious themes &#8211; after all the piece is modeled after a catholic mass &#8211; I was pleased by the inclusivity of different faith traditions. Historically, however, the plea for protection went unheeded when you consider the Jewish experience across centuries. I could not think of a better visual and intellectual representation of that theme than the Berlin Holocaust memorial <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Memorial_to_the_Murdered_Jews_of_Europe\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Memorial_to_the_Murdered_Jews_of_Europe<\/a>\u00a0(overlaid by a Mogen David I found in a Jewish section of a French cemetery.)<\/p>\n<p>When you approach the memorial you see a large field of concrete slabs or stelae, which are reminiscent\u00a0of sarcophagi, but also of the symmetry, simplicity and oppressiveness of fascist architecture. The true nature of the memorial reveals itself slowly. \u00a0Only when you enter the grid do you realize that the ground is sloping and soon you are lost between tall slabs, barely seeing a glimpse of the sky, as if the earth is about to swallow you. It must represent the feeling that so many assimilated German Jews had when the bottom fell out below them, no amount of patriotism, nationalism, service to the Fatherland in WW I a protection against the bloody men out for your annihilation. And on top, while you are sinking ever deeper, life goes on and children giggle\u00a0over their ice cream cones and use the slabs as climbing structures, a whole world blind to (or ignoring of) your fate.<\/p>\n<p>There is a small but terrific museum underground this memorial, well worth a visit. \u00a0And there are always reminders that some will never forget, and make sure that they do whatever they can to provide\u00a0slivers\u00a0of justice to history.
