This obelisk, some 40 meters high, is the central monument and symbol of the Sachsenhausen Memorial. We read a letter that was found in a bottle when they were building the memorial and museum. It was written by a prisoner that had already been here for 7 years. He spoke of his true love back in Koln and wondered if she was okay. He also wrote of hope. And that even though he had been here for so long, they had not broken his spirit and he believed things must be getting better. Truly amazing.
