One of the stories we need to tell is the massacre of the Jewish population in 11 90 on it will be treated with a great deal of sensitivity.

We've worked closely with the curator ZA and the Jewish community to make sure that the stories that are told fully represent the memory in the history of that particular event.

Once visitors get inside, people find it difficult to understand really what it is they're looking at.

Andare solution has Bean to design a timber deck supported on four very tall timber columns On then, from the underside of that timber deck, we've suspended staircase and some walkways.
