(10 April 2001)
NOTE: This site
contains numerous resources pertaining to the history of the Memorial
for the Murdered
Jews
of Europe. However, the only two resources that will be used for this research
paper are the timeline and a newspaper archive of
188
articles from the past six years. The timeline follows the Memorial process
from its beginnings until the groundbreaking
ceremonies
of January 27, 2000, and is the most thorough that I have found. The archive
contains articles from Berliner Morgenpost,
Die Zeit, Die Welt, Rhein-Ahr-Rundschau, Rhein-Zeitung, Der Spiegel (a
news magazine), and ZDF.MSNBC (ZDF is a German
television
affiliate). The articles are all relative to the debates on this memorial,
but of course represent only a sample of the great
number
of articles that have been written on this topic.

Although
I ordered this book weeks before my research was completed, it unfortunatley
had not reached me as I began my writing.
It seemed
to be an excellent source, both for information on the first contest itself
and for secondary sources, i.e. articles debating
the entire
process of the memorial, written by artists and other persons directly
involved with the first contest. Due to the absence of
this source,
I was regrettably forced to use the portions of it cited in Wiedmer's monograph
in my own text.
Kramer, Jane. The Politics of Memory: Looking for Germany in the
New Germany. (New
York, NY: Random House, Inc., 1996).
Kramer's book is not
actually a historical study. There is no bibliography and there are no
end notes. However, it seems that much of the
information
in Kramer's section about Lea Rosh and the memorial was obtained through
personal interviews, and therefore was
extremely
helpful when quotes or personal sketches were required.
Ladd, Brian. The Ghosts of Berlin: Confronting German History
in the Urban
Landscape. (Chicago: University
of Chicago Press, 1997).
Ladd's discussion of
the memorial covers only six pages, and provides the leader with little
more than the basic facts about the
memorial
debate. This is certainly excusable, considering that Ladd's work is a
study of the features of the Berlin landscape that
are already
in place, and at the time of his publication the second competition was
only in its inital stages.
Wiedmer, Caroline. The Claims of Memory: Representations of the
Holocaust in
Contemporary Germany and France.
(Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press,
1999).
Wiedmer's
discussion of the memorial was easily the most extensive that I found in
my research. Especially when discussing the
debate
in the early 1990s, I was forced to use Wiedmer's work as a sort of primary
source, due to my inability to acquire
many of
the sources that she made use of in her monograph.
