Jewish communities were shattered and broken up by the persecution, deportations and murder committed by the Nazis, and most of their synagogues were destroyed or torn down after the war. In their photo project "Missing Synagogues", Martin Mühlhoff and Christian Vossiek document these gaps in Berlin’s urban space in a series of 46 sobering photographs of new buildings, house entrances, rear courtyards and car parks showing where history has been built over, thereby illustrating our failure of remembrance and missing memories.
