Paris holocaust memorial Courtyard facing west

This raw passage allows access to the hidden truth within. The depths within do not feel like a place to intrude a camera. It is not a place to witness from afar, so why this page? I can show you this much, so that you know it exists, that it abides; to get closer, you must carry your heart there unshielded. Within are several stark cells, behind iron bars. Harsh niches containing the camp names and earth from each of them. And behind more bars, a long, long, crypt leading to a flame, the way lined with 200,000 glass pebbles lit from behind, in memory of those who were extinguished in the camps.
