1 Entry Area into Holocaust Memorial Below, showing Jewish Life in Europe before the Holocaust, and through the portal: inside the audience area: a face on the wall-sized screen, constant projection of alternating images of Jewish Life in Europe before and during the War: "Images of the Holocaust"

Jewish Life in Europe before the War.  We move past illuminated photographs from many collections with comments, on the right arranged together in a double-tier of attention: larger photographs for the quicker walk-thru at average vision height, central, and the more numerous smaller photos and commentaries at varying heights above and below, for those who wish to spend time examining, thinking....
....walking down the ramped floor past stone columns you enter the Auditorium area where in front of you, the room is dominated by a wall-sized screen upon which the two main presentations are projected:



 

2 Images of the Holocaust
On the huge floor-to-ceiling screen, continuously alternating images contrasting European Jewish life in Europe before the Holocaust and Jewish life during the Holocaust.  There is no narration... the alternations of the two sets of images say it all.  A continuous historical sandwich.   The idea here is that instead of walking through many large (and costly) exhibition spaces looking at exhibit imagery, it is all brought to you in one place; you sit and watch as you will.  The photographs themselves tell the story without narration.  Seen above, the face on a screen seen through end of Entry Area.
