Provoking thought and discussion, but doesn't necessarily work as a cheerful family vacation highlight. In 1984, this stark, disturbing sculpture by artist George Segal was dedicated in a spot outside the Legion of Honor: a concrete wall brackets a pile of bleached white bodies. A single survivor stands behind a barbed wire fence. Visitors can walk behind the barbed wire, even lie down with the dead.
The memorial is especially sad on a foggy, cloudy day, which happens a lot in Summer out here on the sea cliff. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust_Memorial_at_California_Palace_of_the_Legion_of_Honor
