In a large-scale installation, “traces” of two historic events are simultaneously reconstructed in their original locations: On the basis of the floor plans of the Nazi propaganda exhibition “Der ewige Jude” from 1938, the exhibition installations are redrawn at full scale on the floor of the no-longer-existing station building and “exposed” as a memorial. At the same time, a set of cameras and a railway truck have been recreated in abstract form as a reference to the shooting of the film “The City Without Jews” from 1924. Although the deportation in the film was still fictive, the hate-filled impact of the exhibition demonstrated its fatal concrete results: pogroms, deportations, and mass extermination.
