Atlantic City Holocaust Memorial - Between Heaven and Earth
Creating a genocide memorial amidst the kitsch of casinos originally seemed strange to us, yet upon a visit to the site and contemplation on the nature of the Holocaust, the location made perfect sense. Aside from acknowledging the vibrant Jewish community that populated Atlantic City between the World Wars, the choice of site provides two opportunities. One - an access to the unobstructed view of the horizon - the ascension toward a pure experience of nature at its simplest and most beautiful - the place where sky meets water and water meets the earth. And two, the boardwalk, with its everyday logic of commercial existence, makes a perfect place to begin this ascension toward the horizon - a moment of transcendence from the routine (and yes, life in a concentration camp was routine as well - and that perhaps, was most horrific aspect of it) towards hope and eternal beauty. From memory to beauty, from horror to peace, from despair to hope. These moments are already present on site. The project we propose simply constructs the path.
