The exact spot where the executions took place, now marked by a perpetual votive candle. The shadow of the artistic gate is projected on the rocky wall, creating a symbolic play of light. Here the Nazis killed the 335 victims in groups of five, then detonated mines to seal the quarry and hide the crime.
