STUDIO LIBESKIND

A national memorial to commemorate the Dutch Jews, Sinti and Roma who were murdered in the Holocaust. The memorial features a labyrinth of passages articulated by 2.4 meter high brick walls carrying the message of remembrance. Each of the four letter volumes are crafted from mirror finished stainless steel that hovers above the walls of the individually stacked bricks. 102,000 bricks will each be inscribed with a name, giving a tangible quantification to the many casualties, as well leaving 1000 blank bricks that will memorialize the unknown victims.
