Jewish Holocaust Memorial – Montevideo, Uruguay

While walking along the Montevideo waterfront, I happened upon a plaque which announced (in Spanish) the Jewish Holocaust Memorial. So I followed the short path toward the waterline to check it out. The memorial itself is very simple yet incredibly powerful. It consists entirely of just two sections of sea wall that have been uprooted from their foundations and placed in such a position that it appears they were just casually tossed aside as if they didn’t really matter. It gives me chills just thinking about it.
