The Jüdisches Museum in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district
Contained within one of the vertical empty spaces of the Daniel Libeskind, designed museum resides a sculpture installation called “Shalechet” (Shalekhet) by #Menashe Kadishman. Over 10,000 open-mouthed faces coarsely cut from heavy, circular iron plates cover the floor.

Its impossible to walk through the halls of history without hearing the cry and the noise of millions who perished

[@frigidwolf]

perfect video, i saw a tiktok talking about this installation but I could not stand the voice over. I was pleasantly surprised you added no background music and no weird ai generated voice to read the subtitles or something. thank you 🙏

It’s also thanks to this video being posted about 7 years ago

When you first glance at the ‘floor’, it looks like old film reels. Then as you look closer, the faces slowly, hauntingly, appear. Such an amazing architectural memorial to one of the absolute worst times in our global history. 😢

[@kyliealvey7878]

Absolutely gut punching, the sounds alone are enough to make me panic. Can't imagine what they all went through

[@gosctymczasowy3653]

When I visited the concentration camp, I met an old man. He survived Auschwitz. We talked for a while. There was a lot of grass in the camp. He told me she was gone once. I said that since there were so many people there, it must have been trampled... and he looked at me and replied that it wasn't there because people were eating it. 😢 No more war.

[@shainazion4073]

It's poignant, man stepping on other men, and the metallic sounds like prison doors.

[@faceOD]

That. Also sounds of slave labor, shackles, chains.

[@kimmieh8419]

Agree with both these comments. Such an amazing museum telling the story of one of the worst times in our global history. 😢

Finally for 7 years of minecraft i found soul sand in real life!

[@trashpanda3837]

Thank you for this respectful video.

[@crossbowcat]

this would make for a haunting photoshoot...

[@BloodMOON_z019]

Imagine walking here then saw someone screaming "FREE PALESTINE"

[@Paragon._.]

I don’t know what’s more dreadful. The sound of emptiness being filled with clanks of metal to symbolise the pain, the brutalist architecture and colour that exhibits what Nazi Germany strives for, or the fact that you have to walk on incarnations of people’s faces who died and were tortured by the holocaust. Truely, in my opinion, one of the best art exhibits that expresses the depravity of genocide and destruction on human beings

[@Legend_Broly797]

I saw a post about this and someone in the comments said "Soul sand valley" 💀

[@keagboy3]

End the Museum? Why? Why eradicate history.

[@cgelover3090]

No it said End(as in end of video) And then it said "museum in Berlin"

Decadent Art returns to Germany.

[@lisarino1180]

Your intelligence is decadent

[@pizzish]

I’m totally against the Jews holocaust but it is bizarre to me the fact that this was put up by an Israeli.

[@quintennnnn]

We are all human. Don’t we share enough that we can all mourn the tragedy?

[@crowspears3265]

Why bizarre? It was a Jewish person.

[@anaionescu8913]

It's art inspired by a tragedy that most likely affected the artist's family and still does to this day. Why is it bizarre?

[@pizzish]

@@anaionescu8913 I’m not saying anything to the artist if you know about Israel’s oppression on Palestine you’ll realize

[@egodef1]

@@pizzishgood point but in fact, there is an exhibit in berlin that addresses the occupation of palestine right above a holocaust memorial
