The Memorial, constructed on government owned land, was not permitted to have overt religious symbols. The designers included into the structure several items of Judaica. For example the spacing of the stones reveals the shape of a menorah. The entranceway to the focal point of the memorial is an ante way capped by a dome - similar to those found in Jerusalem. At the top of the dome is a yellow stained glass in the shape of a Magen David with the word Jude written across it. The Mid day Miami sun shining through this window is the effect, which you see in my picture. The hallway is approximately 50 meters in length and is lined with the names of the death camps.
