Competition project.
The monument consists of a black cubic volume 15x15x15 meters, which contrasts to the urban environment. An open wound in the space of the modern city.
There is a prison yard inside the black cubic volume with the plane in the center, which is fenced by barbed wire. The camps' names engraved on the black stone and the water flows above them.
The audience can see only the square of the sky at an unattainable height, and hear the murmur of the water flowing away.
River of Time brings away everything, but the camps' names and the fate of people, should not be forgotten.
