"Library" at Bebelplatz

The installation "Bibliothek" - "Library" at Bebelplatz in Berlin-Mitte, designed by Micha Ullman, is a memorial to the burning of books by the National Socialists, which took place here and in other places on 10 May 1933. The photo, taken at night, shows the lit underground room with its empty bookshelves, as visible through a glass pane in the middle of the square. Bebelplatz (the former Opernplatz) lies in the "Forum Fridericianum" on the street Unter den Linden.
