The overall black background symbolizes silence, mourning, and respect, an acknowledgment of the voices that were suppressed and the stories that were left in the shadows. Throughout the book, yellow pages appear as sudden interruptions. These pages serve as alerts, carrying direct quotes or short but powerful messages from survivors. The contrast between black and yellow reflects the tension between silence and exposure, pain and remembrance, allowing viewers to pause and confront the stories that must not be forgotten.
