Main gate to the old jewish cemetery in Czestochowa (Poland). It was founded at the end of the 18th century. The last body was officially buried here in 1970 although illegal burials were made in later years. Cemetery is almost forgotten and devastated but it has unique atmosphere, especially in autumn. Humans rarely visit this place fearing ghosts...

Czech Republic, Prague
Josefov (also Jewish Quarter; German: Josefstadt) is a town quarter of Prague, Czech Republic, formerly the Jewish ghetto of the town. It is surrounded by the Old Town. The area survived Nazi occupation in the 20th century; Adolf Hitler intended to preserve the Jewish Quarter in Prague as a “Museum of an Extinct Race”. To this end, the Nazis plundered Jewish artefacts from other occupied territories and brought them to the Jewish Quarter in Prague to form part of the museum. The Jewish Quarter is also the birthplace of the celebrated Jewish novelist Franz Kafka, who is commemorated with a statue on Dusni street.

The Jewish Cemetery in Rülzheim
Dieser Friedhof wurde um 1826 zwischen Rülzheim und Herxheimweyer angelegt.
Er war als Verbandsfriedhof für jüdische Familien aus den Gemeinden Bellheim, Rülzheim, Kuhardt, Hagenbach, Leimersheim und Germersheim gedacht. Für 20 Gulden konnten sich Familien ein Grabgrundstück kaufen.
Bereits 1927 wurde der Friedhof das erste mal geschändet...
Nach 1945 wurde dieser, soweit es möglich war, wieder hergestellt.
Lo ammetto, adoro Ugo Foscolo.
Forse perché della fatal quiete
tu sei l'imago a me sì cara vieni
o sera! E quando ti corteggian liete
le nubi estive e i zeffiri sereni,
e quando dal nevoso aere inquiete
tenebre e lunghe all'universo meni
sempre scendi invocata, e le secrete
vie del mio cor soavemente tieni.
Vagar mi fai co' miei pensier su l'orme
che vanno al nulla eterno; e intanto fugge
questo reo tempo, e van con lui le torme
delle cure onde meco egli si strugge;
e mentre io guardo la tua pace, dorme
quello spirto guerrier ch'entro mi rugge.
In 1942 the Nazi mayor of Frankfurt ordered the distruction of the old Jewish cemetery. Some headstones survived.
Im Jahr 1774 pachteten vier bis fünf jüdische Familien aus Wankheim ein Grundstück und legten darauf einen Friedhof an. Sie bezahlten eine Pacht von bis zu drei Gulden pro Jahr. Das älteste Grab stammt von 1788/89 und hat wie andere Gräber aus dieser Zeit, eine hebräische Beschriftung und keine Grabeinfassung.
Die israelitische Gemeinde Wankheim bemühte sich seit 1843, das Friedhofsgelände käuflich zu erwerben. Da der Wankheimer Gemeinderat einen hohen Betrag dafür forderte, zogen sich die Verhandlungen, auch unter Einschaltung der entsprechenden Oberbehörden, über vier Jahre hin. Die jüdische Gemeinde erwarb den Friedhof 1845-1848. 1863 wurde der Friedhof erweitert.
Um 1900 wurde der Friedhof noch einmal erweitert, da auf ihm bis 1941 auch die in Tübingen und Reutlingen verstorbenen jüdischen Personen beigesetzt wurden. Auf dem Friedhof befindet sich ein Gedenkstein für 14 aus der jüdischen Gemeinde Tübingen in der Verfolgungszeit 1933 bis 1945 umgekommene Personen. Er wurde von Viktor Marx, der die Gefangenschaft in mehreren Lagern überlebte, errichtet. Die ersten drei Namen sind die der Toten aus seiner eigenen Familie:
Inside the “Holocaust Tower”
The “Holocaust Tower”
The Axis of the Holocaust ends in the “Voided Void,” or Holocaust Tower, an isolated building splinter whose sole connection to the Libeskind building is underground. Daylight penetrates the tower only through a narrow slit in the unheated concrete silo and any exterior sounds are heavily muffled by the walls. Many visitors experience a feeling of oppression or anxiety inside the Holocaust Tower.

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.
