"Bus Stop" installation: remembering the atrocities of the Holocaust

Monuments are structures that serve as a reminder. This was also the case when the Holocaust memorial in Berlin was to be designed in 1995. A total of 528 entries were submitted for the competition. One of them triggered a lively discussion and almost divided the jury. The design was called 'Bus Stop' and was created by the artist duo Renata Stih and Frieder Schnock. An installation based on this design can be seen at the Holocaust Museum in Melbourne until March 31. SBS reporter Julia Grewe spoke to the two artists during their visit to Melbourne.
