[Daniel Libeskind]
Content:
Discusses Daniel Libeskind's Jewish Museum in Berlin, considering how it articulates the relationship between the city and the long history (and more recent absence) of its Jewish population. Outlines the histories of the original Jewish Museum, which was open briefly during the 1930s, and the Berlin Museum. Explores how Libeskind's design embodies a sense of "unheimlichkeit" or uncanniness which reflects German culture coming to terms with the self-inflicted void at its center.
