Thanks for this! It is "politically" incorrect to sayanythiungpositive about Israel or even mention the "H" word these days. So thank for the information. Cheers

Something about the architecture reminds me of the Memorial to Walter Benjamin in Port-Bou, also by an Israeli architect.Walter Benjamin Memorial
There is a quote by Benjamin himself about the importance - and difficulty - of history telling the stories of the nameless:
"Schwerer ist es das Gedächtnis der Namenlosen zu ehren als das der Berühmten. Dem Gedächtnis der Namenlosen ist die historische Konstruktion geweiht." (Walter Benjamin, Gesammelte Schriften, I, S. 1241)
