KrakowMore information:
The memorial to the Jews of the Jewish ghetto in Krakow was inaugurated on 8 December 2005. The winning project by Krakow architects Piotr Lewicki and Kazimierz Latak included 33 steel and cast iron chairs (1.4 m high) in the square and 37 smaller chairs (1.2 m high) standing on the edge of the square and at tram stops. The memorial’s chairs intrude to bus and tram stops and are used by locals awaiting transportation, suggesting that anyone can be a victim. The theme of empty chairs was also used at the Oklahoma City Monument at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building blast site to reflect "absence."
