with artists Professor Renata Stih and
Dr. Frieder Schnock
In 1993, Berlin-based artists, Professor Renata Stih and Dr. Frieder Schnock created an unusual and controversial Holocaust memorial called “Places of Remembrance in the Bayerischen Viertel: Exclusion and Disenfranchisement, Expulsion, Deportation and Murder of Berlin Jews from 1933 to 1945.”
The memorial consists of 80 signs attached to lamp posts in the Bavarian Quarter of Berlin, and each one has one of the many Nazi rules that Jews followed during the occupation. Stih and Schnock's signs are integrated in the neighborhood, and each double-sided sign includes the Nazi rules for Jews with a corresponding image.
Stih and Schnock will discuss the memorial and it's development along with reactions and responses it continues to elicit.
This program is free and open to the public.
Presented by Ohio State’s Department of Germanic Languages and Cultures and the Melton Center for Jewish Studies, and co-sponsored by by the Holocaust Education Council and the Jewish Community Relations Committee of JEWISHCOLUMBUS.
