Now, they have explored 16 synagogues in 14 cities, studying this important chapter in German architectural history — synagogues. "In beautiful, full- color restorations based upon eyewitness inter- views and blueprints on file in German cit- ies, the exhibit details the diversity, splendor and significance of the Ruth Adler synagogue in the coun- try's urban architectural history from the early 19th century until 1938," according to exhibit materials. "Our students at Darmstadt University of Technology dedicated themselves to recreating this part of German culture nearly wiped out in one night:' explains Professor Marc Grellert."Our mission was to make this culture visible once again, using the latest technology to show the beauty and importance synagogues played in Germany." The exhibit is divided into three spatial units. Visitors first will view the Nuremberg Laws of the 1930s in their original wording depriving Jews of their rights. These laws were a precur- sor to planned attacks on synagogues and places of prayer in November 1938. The second section shows the extent of the destruction, including photos of destroyed synagogues and their cities of origin. The third section demonstrates the process and final outcome of the virtual reconstruction of the selected synagogues, using CAD and three- dimensional concepts. Included is the elaborate simulation of syna- gogues, some dating back to the 1860s, from a number of German cities including Cologne, Hanover and Plauen. These buildings are pre- sented in varying stages of virtual reconstruction and augmented by video Schnee and slide projections and computer printouts. Visitors explore the buildings' facades and interiors via virtual computer screen tours:' Actual artifacts preserved from the destruction also will be shown. "This stunning exhibit brings to life a significant part of German culture destroyed in one night',' said Stephen Goldman, executive director of the Holocaust Memorial Center. "Anyone with an interest in architecture, tech- nology, art, history or the Holocaust will find it fascinating:' For information: www.holocaust- center.org or call (248) 553-2400.
