Dutch Holocaust Memorial of Names: la memoria che si specchia nel futuro

Un percorso catartico tra muri di mattoni e superfici riflettenti restituisce identità alle vittime dell’Olocausto e identifica nella memoria l’unico strumento per guardare con fiducia al futuro.

Durante la Guerra, delle 140.000 persone di religione ebraica che vivevano nei Paesi Bassi, 102.000 non sono sopravvissute al sistematico programma di morte orchestrato dal regime nazista. Oggi, a oltre 80 anni da allora, nel cuore di Amsterdam - a Weesperstraat dove la comunità ebraica è da tempo fortemente radicata - un monumento commemorativo delle 102.000 vittime rimaste senza sepoltura ne riporta alla luce il nome e dunque il ricordo, restituendo loro un’identità ottenebrata dalla pagina più buia della Storia.

Ideato dallo Studio Libeskind, in collaborazione con lo studio olandese Rijnboutt che ha curato il coordinamento, la progettazione esecutiva e il progetto del verde, l’intervento è concepito come un parco aperto alla città e interconnesso con i limitrofi spazi pubblici e a aree a verde.

Il memoriale è caratterizzato da un labirinto di passaggi pavimentati in pietra naturale frantumata e delimitati su entrambi i lati da muri di mattoni, materiale ampiamente diffuso nei Paesi Bassi, ciascuno dei quali reca inciso il nome e la data di nascita delle persone scomparse in una forma di memoria che è sia individuale sia collettiva.

Le strutture murarie sostengono quattro volumi sospesi realizzati in acciaio inossidabile con finitura a specchio che riportano le quattro lettere dell’alfabeto ebraico a comporre la parola “In memoria di”. Le superfici specchianti generano suggestivi effetti visivi. Nei lati inferiori le lettere si riverberano moltiplicando all’infinito la necessità della memoria come forma irrinunciabile di coscienza e civiltà. Nelle superfici laterali e superiori si riflettono il paesaggio urbano circostante, con il suo vitale dinamismo, e il cielo; quasi a evocare – con rispetto e rinnovata fiducia nel futuro - le parole di Anna Frank che, nascosta in una soffitta di Amsterdam, scriveva nel suo Diario: “prova anche tu, una volta che ti senti solo o infelice o triste, a guardare fuori dalla soffitta quando il tempo è così bello. Non le case o i tetti, ma il cielo. Finché potrai guardare il cielo senza timori, sarai sicuro di essere puro dentro e tornerai ad essere felice”.
