We were shooting last week @ Madison Square Park on 23rd street. We had a shot near the old court house on the eastside of the park. As we were setting up, I notice the bas relief marble sculpture and went over to check it out. Raising from the marble flames below was a scale carving of the Auschwitz camp with the engraved "Indifference to Injustice is the Gateway to Hell". Detailing the gas chambers and execution walls, the memorial is a small reminder of history's past cruelties.
How many times had I walked past it over the years and never noticed....... A small corner on a busy street. It is a lesson on looking for the details in a city like New York.
