It's lovely that the Jewish burials behind this gate are preserved and maintained, particularly because other nearby Jewish burial sites have not been sufficiently protected.
Installation Shalekhet – Fallen leaves 10 000 faces punched out of steel are distributed on the ground of the Memory Void, the only "voided" space of the Libeskind Building that can be entered. Israeli artist Menashe Kadishman dedicated his artwork not only to Jews killed during the Shoah, but to all victims of violence and war. Visitors are invited to walk on the faces and listen to the sounds created by the metal sheets, as they clang and rattle against one another. Other art installations exhibited permanently in the museum are by Arnold Dreyblatt, Minka Hauschild, and Via Lewandowsky
This is a memorial for the 5000 or so Jewish people who were shot by the Nazis from the nearby ghetto in 1942. A heartbreaking sculpture representing the varied victims
In 1942 the Nazi mayor of Frankfurt ordered the distruction of the old Jewish cemetery. Some headstones survived.
Pictures with Zeke, Joaquin, Garett and Andy at their house. The kids are Jewish, Mestiza (Mexican Indian/Spanish) and Cherokee. I love taking pictures of siblings, but it was also neat to work with brothers. Somehow I managed to get a bunch of sisters together, but this is the first brother set. They're the same as girls in the sense that they are young and respond well to the camera. I like how two brothers can have the same parents but such different hair. I suppose that will also be more evident when I put my eventual self portraits up with Rachael's.
Joaquin was a total ham. You can see in some pictures he's literally dancing in the background. Or the foreground. But hammy kids always love the camera, so I love them. Zeke, the older boy was not as energized, but he had a quiet brooding intensity that photographed well, too. I've learned so much about working with young people on this project. I can say I'm a fan of their energy and passion.

Studio: 2nd Year
Project: design of a Jewish Wedding Chapel
Presentation board composition 1. drawn with pen, color pencil, and chalk pastels.
The design for a Jewish Wedding Chapel was a controversial subject when our studio class was given this assignment. Another of our professors was in disagreement on this project because we were basically creating a non-existent building type. He felt strongly that we, as young designers still learning design, needed to have a firm precedent to study from before taking on a project of this type so early in our education.
So, not having a real Jewish wedding chapel as precedent I used the ceremony itself as my inspiration. The design, in a nutshell, is about procession and the process of ceremony and the pathway of life.
Our context was a piece of land that jutted out into a picturesque lake in a wooded area of north Georgia. Naturally I had to have people arrive to the site and then proceed towards the chapel. As one did this a rhythm of markers lead down a path that eventually became a rhythm of portals, which then became part of the building itself. Before these guiding elements became the building though one is confronted with a stone wall. This becomes an abrupt element and a clear threshold to go through. This threshold signifies the importance of marriage and the commitment that both the man and woman have to make.
The building was derived more as a set of function to the ceremony itself and its formal qualities are also representative of the Hoopa that is an important representation of the mans home in the Jewish wedding ceremony. Once the ceremony finishes the married man and woman would proceed outward back to the main pathway that then becomes undefined and again representative to the future for this new married couple.

The Swedish poet Levertin wrote on the Jewish cemetery in Prague:
Lägg icke blommor, band och fransar
på vården över deras ben,
ej livet gav dem gröna kransar
men sten. På vårdarne lägg sten!
If you don't speak Swedish, here's a quick and dirty translation:
Do not put flower-wreaths and ribbons
upon the tombs that guard their bones
Life did not give them flower garlands
but stones. So on their graves put stones!

On may24 2014 a man, called Medhi Nemmouche, entered this museum and killed 4 people. He fortunately very soon got arrested by French policemen. At this very moment he's on trial in Brussels. This assault was the very first of a number of assaults that since then took place in Europe.
