One of Libeskind’s visions.

Libeskind proposes that “‘S.S. buildings disintegrate over time […] in order to see the history, not as a simulation of the Third Reich, but to see what is there invisibly, the infrastructure between S.S. lands and the Sachenhausen concentration camp’ […] The planned site ’splits into two areas that are treated in two wholly different ways in order to displace the imagery of the past and to reconsecrate the land’”(693).
