A very somber diorama by Rick Lawler that imparts a serious historical message: the power of intolerance. This is a 1:35 scale diorama entitled "Burden of Sorrow". While the Holocaust is a subject for which no easy explanation can be found, your author will permit himself one suggestion. The Holocaust demonstrates the evil and violence that can be unleashed when a people unharness the destructive power of jealousy.

Also consider how this diorama builder conveys his story. The victims, the main characters so to speak, of this story are largely absent. The viewer is led to contemplate what has taken place by the genius of the diorama designer and builder.
