Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial (Vienna, Austria)

I got to visit the Austrian Jewish Holocaust Memorial in Judenplatz a a few days ago. Since before coming to Vienna I've been very interested in seeing it as 1) I've studied some of Rachel Whiteread's work in various art history/art appreciation classes, including this monument and 2) the Holocaust has always meant a lot to me on a personal level.

Warning: I'm not a good cameraman in any sense and this video is entirely unedited. Also since it was cold you'll hear my awkwardly heavy breathing and sniffling. xDD

I wanted to make a video documenting the experience and also to share with my friends and family back home in the States. Thanks for watching! If you're interested in my other study abroad experiences in Vienna, please check out my blog at http://celiainvienna.blogspot.com.

This video is dedicated to all victims and survivors of the Holocaust and their families, friends and descendants, respectively.
