Synopsis
Documentary explores the evolution of Holocaust commemoration and monument building in the last 70 years. Interviewing world renowned architects, scholars and artists, we learn what Holocaust commemoration means today and what is the role of public art in preserving the history for the future. The project also examines six shortlisted designs and the building of the Canadian National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa. How does one represent Holocaust with art and design in the 21st century?
