'Absence and Loss' focuses on the remarkable number of Holocaust memorials in Berlin; on the sculptures, art installations, unusual plaques and signs that can be found in public places. Juxtaposing images and text, it reveals the destructive impact of the Nazis on the daily life of German Jews and other minorities, and the void left in post-war Germany by their annihilation and emigration. Protest and resistance are also featured both through
portraits and memorials.

The exhibition aims to present an impression of the period, demonstrate man's inhumanity to man and encourage reflection on current issues of racism and extremism.

A book of the exhibition can be ordered from bookshops, from the publisher info@davidpaulbooks.com, or from Marion Davies davies.marion@gmail.com
