An unassuming building on Boczna Street in Brzezinka houses an exhibition that surprises with its impressive scale. Above all, however, it stirs a chord and shocks some viewers by linking images of the crucifixion of Christ and the extermination of the Jews.
The Fountain of Tears, as this exhibition is called, could be called an installation, as it inextricably links stone and bronze sculptures with the dark space and the immediate vicinity of the former Birkenau camp. The exhibition's creator calls it a sculpted dialogue of suffering.

A memorial to the murdered Jews. Small details are incorporated into the bronze on the wall (in the lion's mane).

Rick Wienecke was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1955. When he was twenty, he read Leon Uris's "Exodus," where he first heard about the Holocaust and the struggle of Jews to have their own country. It was at a time in his life when he was searching for God and became increasingly convinced that if God existed, He must have something to do with "those" Jews and this country, Israel. "How could they (the Jewish people) survive the Holocaust and, less than three years later, declare the State of Israel?"
