A stark, “dark” monument on the site of the earlier synagogue, situated peacefully next to the church, which was demolished to make way for the new highway bridge. An engraving in the black marble behind the monument is a silhouette of the synagogue. The old walls of the city are also seen next to the new highway over the bridge.
The Pamätaj is aHolocaust Memorial is located in Bratislava's Old Town, where the former Neolog Synagogue used to be. The Slovak word Pamätaj, means remember and this monument was erected to commemorate the 105,000 Holocaust victims from Slovakia. The memorial is a bronze sculpture and features a black wall etched with the silhouette of the destroyed synagogue and surrounded by torn cloth, stylised barbed wires and a central sculpture of a Star of David. A good memorial to man's inhumanity to man.
Just a pice of art as a memorial!
I am adding this photo of something I saw in Memorial Park (just down from St. Martin's). This was a portable beer bar where you could pedal a bicycle-type apparatus while enjoying your refreshing beverage.
Thought this information would be appreciated as couldn't find a lot written about this sculpture. From the Slovak Jewish Heritage Website: The main Slovak Holocaust Memorial is located in the center of the Old Town of Bratislava, on the site of the former Neolog Synagogue demolished in 1967. The Memorial was erected in 1996 by the Slovak Republic to commemorate the memory of 105,000 Holocaust victims from Slovakia. The location was not selected accidentally. The Holocaust memorial was composed as a place of public remembrance, where two layers of history intertwine: the memory of the tragic event and the memory of the former Rybné Square synagogue, still remembered by many Bratislavians, and which can be often found on historical photos hanging in Bratislava cafés. The memorial consists of the black wall with silhouette of the destroyed synagogue and the central sculpture with non-figurative motif and a David Shield on the top, placed on the black granite platform with “zachor” [remember] and “pamätaj” inscriptions. The plot of the former synagogue in owned by the Bratislava Municipality, which leases the site for an annual symbolical fee to the Museum of Jewish Culture, which maintains the memorial.
Very nice statue
בדרך לעיר העתיקה בצמוד לכנסיית מרטין שנבנתה במאה 14, פתאום ראיתי את המקום. מאוד התרגשתי. מדובר באנדרטה לזכר השואה שנבנתה במקום בו שכן בית הכנסת של ברטיסלבה עד שנהרס ב1970, משום ששלטון הקומוניסטי רצה להרחיב את הכביש על מנת לבנות את הגשר החדש. באנדרטה רואים את המילה \זכור\ בעברית וסלובקית וגם מגן דוד בראשה.
