Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial

The Judenplatz Holocaust Memoria a memorial dedicated especially to the Jewish victims of fascism in Austria. The monument takes the form of a tomb and symbolic resting place of the Jews. The memorial is a steel and concrete rectangular building with an outside surfaces carved with countless books stacked together to give the appearance of library shelves turned inside out as the spines of the books face the inside. The books are an allegory to the countless number of victims and a reference to the Jews as "People of the Book." Around the tomb and on the concrete ground are etched the names of the concentration camps, lest we forget.

A very respectful monument and plus one for the memory.Read more
