- Museum Judenplatz Vienna
Judenplatz is regarded as a unique place of remembering because it contains three elements: Rachel Whiteread’s Memorial, excavations of a medieval synagogue, and a museum about medieval Jewry; these three elements combine to make a unique unit of remembrance.
During the Middle Ages, Judenplatz was the epicenter of Jewish life in Vienna. Today, the Museum Judenplatz commemorates this. The Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna operates the museum, which has exhibitions on medieval Jewry in Vienna, a virtual tour of 14th-century Vienna, and excavations of the medieval synagogue. The religious, cultural, and social living circumstances of Vienna’s Jews in the Middle Ages are on exhibit, all the way up to their expulsion and the destruction of the so-called “Wiener Gesera” in 1420/21. The synagogue’s foundations were damaged at the time, and selected excavation discoveries are on display in the museum’s basement chambers. On the ground floor, there are temporary exhibitions.
The Schoa monument by Rachel Whiteread is the focal point of commemoration on Judenplatz. The memorial’s ground tiles carry the names of the locations where Austrian Jews were killed during the Nazi era.
