Modern Jewish Art in Berlin- Large Holocaust Figures

Each figure has a different colored triangle. The triangle color represents the type of person persecuted.

The Ravenbrück Concentration Camp can be seen in the background.

The yellow triangle stands for the Jewish victims.

Online Interview with artist STUART N.R. WOLFE:

What inspired you to create these figures?

"The question of reconciliation, meaning the way forward into the future, can only be achieved if all side are part of the process. That means that the commemoration must include all people who where in the concentration camps."

What points did you want to get across to the public?

"Most Germans and Berliners are not aware, that deportations of Jews and Political prisoners to various concentration camps departed at the Anhalter Bahnhof [train station] in the middle of the city under the very eyes of everyone. Extra carriages where simply attached to the regular trains."

The figures can now be seen at the Ravensbrück Concentration Camp for women (90 kilometers north of Berlin).
