We were the only visitors when we were there. The Sculpture of Love and Anguish in the center is kind of scary for children. The admission is free.

Well done; poignant. Artistry was well done and meaningful. The Memorial became personal and heartfelt very quickly. It will always have great meaning.

Those hands reaching and grasping for survival. Brought me to tears? A startling bronze enormous statue of people trying to escape their fate
