At the end of the historical and emotional exhibits at Yad Vashem, the “Hall of Names” forms the final, dramatic display space. We stood there for a very long time reflecting on the sheer numbers of binders on the wall. The ceiling is probably 30 feet tall and is open to the sky. It contains binders of the personal records of millions of Jewish Holocaust victims. A reciprocal cone, dug out of the stone bedrock, honors those victims whose names will never be known. Powerful and sobering.
