Annotation
The memorial site is based on developing three main axes already present in the countryside. The three intersecting lines mirror three conceptual timelines – present, past and future – which form the frame of the memorial narrative. Each line is connected with one of three objects and therefore defines its meaning in the whole composition: the visitor centre is a place of present times, facts and discussion; the cemetery is an authentic place of troubled history and an undeniable proof of holocaust; the camp monument is a place of reconciliation, which should connect our positive ideas of the shared future.
