I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

- Wikipedia Description: Holocaust Memorial on Miami Beach
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Holocaust Memorial on Miami Beach is a Holocaust memorial in Miami Beach, Florida. It was conceived by a committee of Holocaust survivors in 1984, formally established in 1985 as the Holocaust Memorial Committee, a non-profit organization. It was designed by Kenneth Treister on a site designated by the City of Miami Beach Commission at Meridian Avenue and Dade Boulevard. The Memorial was opened on Sunday, February 4, 1990, with Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel as guest speaker at the dedication ceremonies.
Design:
The Memorial begins with a curved walkway with a reflecting pool on the left and a black granite wall on the right. The wall depicts a short history of the Holocaust. This walkway leads to a passage of diminishing height, furnished with an eternal light and bearing the names of World War II concentration camps. The passage leads to a circular, walled plaza. The centerpiece of the plaza is a 42-foot bronze arm that appears to be reaching up out of the ground. It is inscribed, as if tattooed, with a serial number like those applied by the Nazis to concentration camp prisoners. There are also about a hundred life-sized bronze figures of people, some seeming to climb the arm, some scattered about the plaza. Upon returning through the passageway, a second curved walkway and black granite wall, continuing the arc of the first, is inscribed with the names of Holocaust victims, much like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Daniel Pearl Controversy:
On April 16, 2007, slain journalist Daniel Pearl was added to the Holocaust Memorial as the first non-Holocaust victim. His father, Judea Pearl, gave the reasoning for the induction as a gesture of the "forces of evil and barbarity still in the world." Journalist Bradley Burston in Haaretz said that the addition of a non-victim to the memorial was essentially Holocaust denial, and was the use of the Holocaust as a political tool against Islamism.

I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com
and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
