The Square Of The Invisible Monument

About The Square Of The Invisible Monument i was speaking of...the artist Is Jochen Gerz.In the first pic it just looks like just a normal pathway, but underneath it, each stone bears the name of a Jewish cemetary, that had been used to bury the jews in the mindless holocaust. The artist in total carved 2146 stones, with the help of one of his students, i think.



"Initially, the work was carried out without a commission, in secret and illegally. The stones were removed by night and replaced with engraved ones. All stones were placed with the inscribed side facing the ground and therefore the inscription is invisible. "

This monument really deserves a lot of credit. In my opinion this definitely deserves more attention than any Eiffel Tower or Big Ben or whatever...and today even if nobody can see it, it remains as a witness, and the future...would know about the horrors of the past...
