The Procession
Carrying the shroud out into the courtyard, Steve Miller sprinkles the land with earth carried from the Jungfernhof concentration camp to Brandeis University in a symbolic gesture of bridging these two worlds. The shroud, printed with the names of 3836 victims became the tangible object linking the past to the present. A trace of Jungfernhof will remain in Waltham, just as a trace of memory remains at the camp.
