Judenplatz, Vienna: The Holocaust Memorial

By Rachel Whiteread, inaugurated in the fall of 2000, also entitled as the Nameless Library. In the far background you can also see Misrachi-Haus (the lowest building), built in 1694 and serving today as a branch of the Jewish Museum Vienna.

Both of my Judenplatz descriptions involves a statue of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, created by Siegfried Charoux. Charoux won the comission for making the statue of Lessing in 1930. The work was completed in 1932, unveiled in 1935, and demolished by the Nazis in 1939. From 1962-65 Charoux created a second version of his work which was unveiled at Ruprechtskirche in 1968 and moved to Judenplatz, at its present spot in 1981. Also see the front approach, please.
