This book is a detailed critical study of Libeskind's Berlin Jewish Museum in its historical, architectural and philosophical context. Emphasizing how the Holocaust changed our perception of history, memory, witnessing and representation, it develops the notion of "memorial ethics' to explore the Museum's difference from more conventional post-World War Two commemorative sites.
