This architectural model was made by the architect Daniel Libeskind for the addition of the Jewish Museum Department to the Berlin Museum. At its core is a void, an empty space alluding to the attempted destruction of the Jewish people and their history in the Holocaust. The ruins of history find expression in a void rather than in a material form, which cannot adequately represent what has been destroyed.
