註釋
Criticizes the terms of the competition for the central Holocaust monument in Berlin and the architects' proposals. Argues that the crux of the problem is in the demand that the monument be "central" and "German" (i.e. national). The site of the monument over Hitler's bunker implies that he alone was responsible for the Holocaust; and its grandiosity, together with that of the adjacent buildings, reproduces the Nazi plan for their center of power. The architects' proposals show the impossibility of integrating the murder of the Jews with German national identity. They express an unconscious wish to identify with the Jews (or to replace them?) as sacrifices, with uplifting sacral connotations. Prefers the proposal to build a bus terminal for tours of the concentration camps, or to place tablets on the banks of the Spree reflecting the names of concentration camps in the water.
