MUSEUM OF THE HOLOCAUST LOS ANGELES, USA

摘要

As the Holocaust recedes into the past, there's an ever-stronger urge in Europe and America to memorialise the horrors and draw lessons from that shameful era. The Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust provides a permanent home for an institution that was established in the 1960s by a group of camp survivors. A core collection of photographs and memorabilia was displayed in a rented office space, and a memorial of six black stelae was built at the edge of a mid-town park.rnBelzberg Architects was commissioned to design a building, but chose instead to embed the galleries within a corner of the flood-control berm that surrounds the park, separating the museum from the post office and shopping mall that flank the site.
