Orte des Erinnerns / Places of Remembrance in Berlin (English and German Edition)

Places of Remembrance is a memorial in Berlin-Schoeneberg in a neighborhood called the Bayerische Viertel created in remembrance of Jews living in Germany during the Third Reich. In June 1993, the artists Renata Stih & Frieder Schnock put up 80 brightly printed signs on lampposts. Most of the short black and white texts on the backs of these framed signs are condensed versions of rules and regulations passed from 1933 to 1945 and correspond in numerous ways with the colored images on the front. Together, the words and images force passers-by to remember the almost-forgotten history of this neighborhood. The decrees set by the National Socialists systematically forced Jews out of daily life and gradually robbed them of their basic rights. Isolation and discrimination paved the way for deportations and mass murder. Essays by Caroline Wiedmer (in English) and Barbara Straka (in German). All 80 signs are depicted and translated in the brochure, including a separate, double sided map, depicting that area around the Bavarian Square in Berlin, providing a walking guide to the locations of the signs (poster size 58''x79'', text English + German).
