This is an artists' rendering of the cross section of the New Hall of Names and the connection to the Historical Museum. 

The two cones form a continuum of space; one cone is directed downward, towards the ground, the other cone is directed upward, towards the sky. Faces of victims will appear on a background of Pages of Testimony and will be superimposed on a glass frame on the cone reaching upward. In contrast, the surface of the 11 meter-long cone reaching to the ground will be crude, consisting of the rock and earth revealed at the excavation.
