Text-to-speech Audio
A space on the University of Denver Campus dedicated to inclusion, intercultural dialogue, and social justice. The first stone of this site was laid on October 10th, 2010, however, the true construction did not begin until April of 2011. Hidden within the design of this space are messages which tell the story of loss, life, and healing. The primary stone in this space is shaped to represent the Hebrew work "chai" which means life. The overall space is shaped to recall the eternal frame while surrounding lattices represent the shattered glass during Kristallnact and also spell "Hineni" which is the Hebrew word for "Here I am."
