Mahnmal für die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus

Mahnmal für die Opfer des Nationalsozialismus
SSC: something in the shape of a cube

The memorial by Elmar Daucher consists of 4 black granite blocks. Between the blocks on a granite slab are words by Ernst Bloch:

1933-1945
Verfemt Verstossen Gemartert (outlawed outcast tortured )
Erschlagen Erhängt Vergast (slain hanged gassed)
Millionen Opfer (millions of victims)
Der Nationalsozialistischen Gewaltherrschaft (of the Nazi tyranny )
Beschwören Dich: ( implore you: )
Niemals wieder! (Never again!)

Alternative photo: Kunstmuseum Stuttgart

Diane Putnam, Boarischa Krautmo, , and 42 other people have particularly liked this photo

Groß und mächtig das Mahnmal. Es sollte uns immer präsent sein.

Zum zweiten Bild: Eine interessante Ausstellung, die würde ich auch gerne besuchen. Nur schade dass Stuttgart mal nicht gerade bei mir um die Ecke liegt.
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen für die SSC.

Great composition

Thank you so much, Peter! As the granite blocks were black a coloured background would have been a distraction.

S/W macht sich für dieses Dekmal sehr gut. Beim Blick auf das Gebäude musst ich sofort an das NS-Dokuzentrum in München denken
www.ns-dokuzentrum-muenchen.de/home , das am 30. April 2015 eröffnet wurde. Dieses zu besuchen kann ich nur empfehlen - nimm aber genug Zeit mit

Many have forgotten, or denied such things in the first place. It's a shocking time...
4 years ago.
Gudrun club has replied to Diane Putnam club
A large part of the forgetting and denying is down to lousy education. When I was at school history was taught well and we were very aware of the atrocities of the 3rd Reich. In the next generation history lessons got fewer and were sacrificed for other subjects considered more important, resulting in an apolitical generation whose mantra is me, me, me. Thankfully the next generation reacts in protest now.
As far as I know many countries don't teach history well- my American cousin's history lessons were about Texas history and nothing more...
I hate that German schools and universities think they have to imitate the Anglosaxons- away from "Allgemeinbildung" towards "Fachidioten". Of course someone who's brilliant in a very narrow field and knows next to nothing about anything else is much more easily led...

Diane Putnam club has replied to Gudrun club
Everything you say is spot-on, Gudrun. I once knew a very smart architect, graduated from Stanford University (very prestigious here). He was shockingly stupid about anything but architecture. It is hard to even have a conversation with someone like that!

Gudrun club has replied to Diane Putnam club
It's a pity, isn't it! In former times architects were creative people who had a broad knowledge of many things- in the tradition of Leonardo da Vinci....
