Description
A consideration of Christo-clone "artist" Horst Hoheisel and his actual and contemplated works aimed at memorialising the Holocaust. They range from an "anti-fountain" in Kassel to replace a destroyed one donated by a Jew, to a proposal that that the Brandengurg Gate be pulverised, to an actual projection of the fateful words ARBEIT MACHT FREI (Work Liberates) on to the facade of the Brandenburg Gate itself.
