The Auswitz monument in Amsterdam, has to remind us of the millions of jewish people that got killed during the second world war. The ashes of tenthousands of them are buried under that very spot. Never again may the sky be reflected unshattered on that spot, that's the message of the broken mirrors. Neo-nazis who frequently damage the monument don't seem to realise that by shattering the mirrors even more, they only increase the harmed reflection of the sky, and thus their own shame and disgrace.

It's difficult to see in this picture that is has been dammaged, maybe if you would have taken it from a different angle...
Meets the challenge, real news. 8.
It's a nice rendering of a black and white scene for a possible news story. The image does make one wonder why this type activity takes place. You may need to hire a better proof reader, as I think you mean "Auschwitz".
I know you couldn't have defaced this monument but I think this photo would have been a lot more powerful if some hint of graffiti could be seen - know what I mean? Good concept.
Good composition and contrast. Might have been better to get actual grafitti/damage befor or at start of clean-up. Unless this is a normal cleaning and there was no damage.
