In the United States alone, there are around 100 Holocaust memorials. In Germany, there are over 500 of all kinds of memorial facilities commem-orating the Nazi victims.

The book presents hisviews on the design of Nazi memorials and information centres with numerous examples of his own,illustrated with photographs and drawings.
