The Stone Wall

At the end of Crevice Road is a T-junction made with the Stone Wall that runs at right angles. The height of the walls created by the monument creates an impressive and imposing area bordered by white stone. 

The stone wall is made of monumental white granite, with the surface covered with hand-made relief which has been incised, polished and burnished in several places.

No. 4

There is an engraved quotation from the Book of Job "Earth, do not cover my blood; let there be no resting place for my outcry.

 Opposite the stone wall there is 'Ohel Niche' to the left and the right. This is a type of Jewish tomb or chapel, in the shape of a cuboid, there is a list of victims names on its burnished concrete walls.



There is evidence of visitors to the memorial paying their resects to the victims

Evidence of visitors paying their respect to those who were
murdered at Belzec.

At the end of each side of the wall is a stone staircase totalling 78 stairs, which I climbed. The staircases led to the top edge of the Cemetery-burial grounds and the concrete pavement.
