Daniel Libeskind's architectural design of the Jewish Museum in Berlin, named "Between the Lines" refers to the shape of the buildings as seen from above, resembling a deconstructed Star of David. It symbolizes the tensions of German-Jewish history, and causes the visitor to emotionally react to and reflect upon the design of the museum. The Jewish Museum in Berlin opened in September 2001, fifty six years after the end of Nazi Germany.
