In the Bavarian Quarter of Berlin, the memorial "Places of Remembrance," created by Renata Stih and Frieder Schnock, consists of 80 street signs presenting anti-Jewish laws and regulations under Nazi rule. One side of sign shows a picture, the other a piece of anti-Jewish legislation between 1933-1945.How can individuals and society remember and commemorate difficult histories? What is the purpose of remembering? What does justice look like after genocide?
