Worth the visit. It is self-guided so you need to spend a bit of time to understand the layout. More

I have seen many holocaust Memorials, the most impressive being in Berlin. The size of this one is more modest but the emotion is here too. Interesting gallery of pictures printed on granite. Impressive sculptures, nice setting. The site was under renovation in Jan. 2012. More
