<<Each new atom of hate makes the world more inhospitable than it already is >>. It is deep and poignant reflection of Etty Hillesum, Dutch writer of Jewish origin, a victim of the Holocaust, who died in Auschwitz on November 30, 1943. Words surging to the universal recommendation for crimes perpetrated against 'undesirable', of those who are 'different'. Words that echo in the corners and dark recesses of the Jewish Museum Berlin: a place of memories, the bearer of the scars of history. The light penetrates through cracks and crevices asymmetric, as if to evoke sharp blades that 'hurt' the smooth facade of the monolithic. Architecture becomes a concept and spaces are cleverly drawn by alternating solids and voids to cause confusion, anxiety, and pain in the visitors.
