The main objective of the project, by Morpurgo de Curtis Architetti Associati, is to transform the place, initially disused and then abandoned towards the end of the 90s, into a space for reflection and re-elaboration placed in close dialogue with the city. The Shoah Memorial is conceived as a large “lantern” visible from the outside; walking along Piazza Edmond Jacob Safra (Fig 1) it is possible to look out to observe, through the windows in front of the original open gates, the belly of the building consisting of a reinforced concrete frame left exposed. What was once introverted and hidden today has undergone a turnaround: the spaces reveal themselves for what they have become in such a way as to openly declare what has happened while offering places for research and re-elaboration.

Abstract
The main objective of the project, by Morpurgo de Curtis Architetti Associati, is to transform the place, initially disused and then abandoned towards the end of the 90s, into a space for reflection and re-elaboration placed in close dialogue with the city. The Shoah Memorial is conceived as a large “lantern” visible from the outside; walking along Piazza Edmond Jacob Safra (Fig 1) it is possible to look out to observe, through the windows in front of the original open gates, the belly of the building consisting of a reinforced concrete frame left exposed. What was once introverted and hidden today has undergone a turnaround: the spaces reveal themselves for what they have become in such a way as to openly declare what has happened while offering places for research and re-elaboration.
