The Deserted Room (Der Verlassene Raum)
Koppenplatz, Berlin
Berlin, Germany
This memorial in the former Jewish neighbourhood of Berlin consists of a table and two chairs, of which one is fallen. It shows a room whose residents suddenly are disappeared. The memorial contains the following poem of Nelly Sachs: [i]...oh the houses of death / invitingly appointed / for the landlord of the house who was once a guest / Oh you fingers, / laying the threshold / like a knife between life and death / Oh, you chimney stacks, / Oh you fingers, / And the body of Israel going up in smoke![/i]
