​In Memoriam

This installation was created to mark the passing of the Nuremberg Race Laws in 1935 for The Protection of German Blood and German Honour.  For the first time, racial policy was officially adopted isolating German Jews from the rest of the population, stripping them of their citizenship, segregating them as lesser members of society, with no natural rights. These racial regulations inevitably paved the way to the events of Kristallnacht three years later.

The individual Stars are welded together to represent people of Jewish faith who found themselves grouped together, not based on their ethnicity, but on their faith, for which millions were subsequently exterminated.

The frame is made from old wooden railway sleepers,  the background depicts the Nuremberg Laws as to who was 'contaminated' by Jewish blood according to the Nazi regime printed on canvas and mounted on wood, and the copper runners on the top and bottom are engraved with the names of victims.



Installation design & sculpture: anastasia - 2013
Materials:  Bronze sculpture on canvas, frame made from antique railway ties
