“Station Z,” as the crematorium at the concentration camp was referred to by the SS, is the central place of remembrance at the Sachsenhausen Holocaust memorial today. Architect HG Merz designed an abstract structure, which was built between 1998 and 2005 to protect the remaining foundation and relicts of the former crematorium and provide visitors with a place for contemplation. Through its focus on the interior, this translucent “shell shape” exemplifies the hopeless situation of the prisoners. In his work the artist tries to pose questions and, with the support of his serial process of work, to create distance through abstraction. In doing so, these images take us closer to this site of sorrow and remembrance. A prologue by the Polish author and former camp prisoner Andrzej Szczypiorski – his 1995 speech commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the liberation of Sachsenhausen – and an epilogue by HG Merz on the history of the site complete the volume.
