87. Holocaust Memorial

by michellec on November 8th, 2012

"You look up at the sky and can't understand how that blue firmament could have stretched so serenely and indifferently above such horror, as though it were nothing but a field of flowers. And in a vision of justice, you see cracks appearing in that impassive blueness, as if the atrocities committed on the earth below her have violated eternity forever. That is what gave me the idea of placing broken mirrors on that small patch of earth above the urn of ashes. Never again, on this spot, will the sky be whole" Jan Wolkers, 1977.
