The place for a monument commemorating Wrocław people buried in reused Wrocław cemeteries was established in Grabiszyński park, located on the site of former cemeteries. The competition concerned the area located on the axis leading in past times to a crematorium. As we enter the area through the simple gate and follow a long avenue between lines of trees and high hedges, we expect to find something special and important at the end of the avenue. However, all we can see is an empty square: surrounded with greenery, solitary, remaining after the destroyed crematorium.

The composition is comprised of several hundred gravestones and steel boxes mirroring the stones dimensions, filled with soil from the non-existent cemeteries. These would be placed on a concrete base which, having a suitably shaped cross-section, and an illuminated crack near the ground, would seem to levitate above ground level. It would be surrounded by a platform made of reinforced concrete, completed with a row of simple benches, corresponding to the chairs in the old crematorium. The remaining surface of the square would be overgrown with grass, and the avenue leading to the memorial place covered with light gravel. The memorial would not be visible from the avenue, but from the higher level of the platform, from which people could see the stones arranged in order and estimate their number.

An important aspect of this proposed solution is the flexibility of the project. The dimensions of the reinforced concrete base, and the system in which the stones and boxes with soil are arranged, can be extended using gravestones discovered over time without disturbing the character of the arrangement.

The idea of the Common Memorial is rooted in such terms as order, organization and finding one's place. The concept itself does not recall traumatic events, but refers to a complex, multilayered and multicultural city history. Suddenly ending the platformęs surface, and the enormous number of gravestones regularly arranged on a levitating base makes the symbolic meaning of the Common Memorial universal and well-understood by people of different beliefs.
