the genesis of the project on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the annexation of austria in march 2008, verein grundstein’s inquiry into the history of the jewish dichter family culminated in the placement of three advertising pillars on yppenplatz in vienna’s ottakring district, showcasing relevant works by various artists. the project, “committed to the memory of all victims of national socialism”, is continued to this day. säulen der erinnerung – pillars of memory: an encounter of art and contemporary history in the public space “our task is to reconstruct the past, and to render the future possible.” jean-luc godard in a sense, public space with its monuments and memorials is the spatial zone of the non-private, the counterpart of individual memory. while public space may be understood as a medium for collective remembrance, with memorials serving to keep the memory and the awareness of a common history alive, the individual memory is the area in which the history of individual experience is stored. referring to and evoking individual memories within the public space therefore constitutes a formal provocation, no matter what the content. the art project “säulen der erinnerung – pillars of memory” does not aim for a superficial reminder, commemoration or provocation, but intends to trigger a process in which public space becomes a medium for a confrontation with history. this is achieved by renaming yppenplatz to “edith arlen wachtel and walter arlen piazza”, as well as by the presentation of art on and artistic design of the pillars. as representatives of all victims of national socialism, the art project “säulen der erinnerung – pillars of memory” focuses on two jewish émigrés from ottakring, edith arlen wachtel and walter arlen, both grandchildren of the founder of the dichter emporium (brunnengasse 40, today’s “dichterhof”) and, as living images of memory, takes them back to the place where they spent their childhood and youth. since 2005, verein grundstein has been researching and studying the history of the dichter family and its emporium, which was owned by the family until 1938. as a homage to the family who were exiled from vienna, the “sammlung dichter” (dichter collection) was initiated in 2006. during the exhibition “dichter herbst” (dichter autumn) in october 2007, edith arlen wachtel and walter arlen visited vienna, and many of the participating artists developed a strong bond with them. “up to seventh grade, i went to the oberlyzeum for girls in albertgasse. after hitler’s invasion of austria, i was expelled from school; i should have moved on to the bürger‑schule for the remaining jewish children; but our mother’s health was very poor, and she needed help at all times. my father was arrested right away; he was in prison. so i never went back to school.” von links nach rechts: edith arlen (geb. aptowitzer),
