{"product_id":"65736-architekturen-des-ueberlebens","title":"Architectures of Survival","description":"Around 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, and spend hours, days, sometimes even years there. The architect, political scientist, and artist Natalia Romik, whose work is being presented for the first time in Germany, has researched some of these places that still exist today. Her research honors these hiding places as fragile architectures that bear witness 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\u003ePolitical scientist NATALIA ROMIK (*1983, Warsaw) combines academic research with methods of contemporary art and architecture. In her art projects, she primarily focuses on Jewish memory and Holocaust remembrance in Eastern Europe. Romik has received numerous grants and was awarded the Dan David Prize, one of the most highly endowed prizes for historical research, in 2023. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah in Paris.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811898958088,"sku":"9783775755979","price":34.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775755979_88bbe24f-05ba-4e61-97b5-af7a2d9e8c28.jpg?v=1744043297","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/65736-architekturen-des-ueberlebens","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
