Overall:  ? Reywas92^Talk 01:46, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

• Is there any direct connection to Zapatero visiting Mauthausen and Madrid approving a memorial? When in 2005 was the former?
• Is "Jewish community of Madrid" a proper noun that should have community capitalized?
• The Star of David is empty in the center so I'm a little confused by the description of a taller center column. The images in the sources help but it's a bit abstract, so could you describe the shape of the memorial a bit better? The railroad ties appear flat on the ground so I'm not sure how they are "upright" – it looks like the steel columns are standing up. Thanks, Reywas92^Talk 01:46, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

• Hey, @Reywas92:, thanks for the constructive comments. Remove the reference to Zapatero for clarity's sake. Fixed the rendering of the Jewish Community of Madrid. When I look at the pictures and read a description such as this one, horizontal wooden railroad ties form the walkup to the raised platform with the steel columns. Surrounding the platform are additional wooden railroad ties, placed vertically. Longhornsg (talk) 02:37, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I only saw the pictures on the Introduction tab there, the others show that better! Perhaps this could have a bit more detailed description of its design still, but otherwise Reywas92^Talk 00:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
