Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
Kenneth Treister's 42-foot bronze 'Sculpture of Love and Anguish' amid figures and a wall of names is quietly devastating and moving.
Not independently verified — estimatedIt's free and powerfully designed.
Not independently verified — estimatedIt's a small, somber 20–30 minute stop, not a 'fun' activity, and easy to underestimate from outside.
