{"product_id":"65735-architecture-of-survival","title":"Architektur des Überlebens","description":"Approximately 50,000 Jews survived the Holocaust in occupied Poland and Ukraine, some of them in hiding. Out of necessity, they were forced to seek refuge in improbable and seemingly unsuitable places such as hollow trees, cupboards, cellars, or sewers, spending hours, days, sometimes even years there. Architect, political scientist, and artist Natalia Romik, whose work is being presented in Germany for the first time, has researched some of these places that still exist today. Her research recognizes these hiding places as fragile architectures, testifying to the creativity and unbroken will of those who had to secure their survival with minimal means. The interdisciplinary catalog provides access to the fragile physical reality of these places and addresses the fundamental question of the relationship between architecture, violence, and a culture of remembrance that makes invisible places visible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe political scientist NATALIA ROMIK (*1983, Warsaw) combines academic research with methods of contemporary art and architecture. In her art projects, she primarily deals with Jewish memory and Holocaust remembrance in Eastern Europe. Romik has received, among others, the scholarship from the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of Poland and the London Arts and Humanities Partnership, and is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Foundation for the Remembrance of the Shoah in Paris.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811900268808,"sku":"9783775755962","price":34.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775755962_4162b260-3e48-4987-b393-82aab3d1a2cb.jpg?v=1744043274","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/65735-architecture-of-survival","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
