01 / Redesign of Judenplatz / 1998-2000 / Jabornegg & Pálffy
Judenplatz 81010 Wien
- PlanerIn: Jabornegg & Pálffy
- Client: Stadt Wien, Historisches Museum der Stadt Wien
- Building type: Museums and exhibitions
- Reachability: U3 Herrengasse

- With its minimalist representation of a hermetically sealed library, the Holocaust Monument by Rachel Whiteread erected before the redesign of the square symbolises the Jewish people as the “people of the Book”. The empty space inside the permanently locked monument embodies the void left by the annihilation of 65,000 Viennese Jews.
