“Spiegel der Geschichte” von Matthias Braun – a memorial in Schwetzingen, Germany, commemorating the victims of the Nazi era and urging future generations to safeguard democracy and human rights.

To me this installation signifies the truth that it happened to them and it can happen to us – the people reflected in the figures. The people seen clapping is an art  installation on the opposite side of the road called “Die Claque” from Guido Messer – depicting four men clapping with their eyes closed, applauding whatever they are paid to applaud.
