Would you believe it?

An exhibit at the Jewish Museum in Berlin
features a Jewish man or woman in a transparent box,
answering people's questions.
The exhibit is intended to be educational,
but some are dubbing it "humiliating" and "idiotic.

'Humiliating and idiotic'.....

Art sure isn't what it used to be...

Re: Would you believe it?

Art tries, now, to be controversial in order to gain attention so I can see where the organiser is coming from. In essence, it's doing what she wants and showing locals how the Jews feel perceived and people did seem to be taking time to ask questions. I'd be more inclined to brand the exercise as tasteless and inappropriate; if a Jew has agreed to sit in the open box - why isn't he humiliated? I have a Jewish friend (who is in Israel at the moment) but I shall ask his opinion when he gets back!

Re: Would you believe it?

I think it would have been far more 'educational' to have put up photographs of the concentration camps, of the gas chambers, of the ovens, of the starved inhabitants of the camps, of the slave factories and make sure that one compulsory subject taught in all schools in Germany are the events surrounding the 'holocaust'.
