Nota biografica

The Holocaust Memorial to the Jews of Vienna, the Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial 2000 (also known as Nameless Library) is by Rachel Whiteread (b 1963), located in the centre of the Judenplatz in Vienna. It is a work in cast concrete, with the walls made up of rows of books, with the pages, rather than the spines, turned outward; this can be regarded as a comment on Jews as a 'people of the book' and the Nazi book burnings. On one of the walls is the negative cast of double-doors.
