The Oppressed Star - Project

The Oppressed Star was a mini project that I decided to do to remember the Jewish people who died in the gruelling events of the Holocaust in WW2.

Name Choice

The reason for naming my Holocaust memorial the Oppressed Star was to remind people the situation that the Jewish people had to go through and how they were oppressed of all their privileges and not given any freedom to roam around and do what they please.

Materials

My miniature 1/27 scale of the model is planned to be made out of thin sheets of polished aluminum because I believe that metal was not something that the Jewish people had in the camps and also because of its useful malleability for building the structure. The reason for its thinness is to portray that the Jewish people themselves were very slim as they were starved and also that they had a very small amount of resources to deal with. The reason for the 1/27 scale is because the actual size of the memorial would be approximately the size of a Jewish person in WW2.

Location

The area I would place my memorial would be in a very populated place where many people sit down to chat or walk by. Many people would notice the memorial and hopefully consider it to be special and respect what happened. My memorial is also a work of modern art where kids could freely roam around it and hide under it. My memorial would also have a plaque in front saying the purpose of the memorial and some brief explanations.

Design Features

The first design features that are probably the most significant is the shape of the Star of David. How the star is bent into the ground and four of its corners are piercing the ground and how it’s very bent on the corners that aren’t in the ground.

The bent shape of the star. A bent position is most often associated with stress or in distress. So I represented the painful and resisting of the pain that the Jewish prisoners had to go through. Next, the four corners that are stabbed into the ground. In the Star of David there are six corner points. In my memorial, four or them are stabbed into the ground. This symbolises the way that the Nazis were able to suppress the Jews in everything they didn’t want them to do ⅔ of the time and how ⅓ of the time, the Jews were able to retaliate and fight for liberty. The other two bent points symbolise how all the attempts at retaliation from the Jewish were bent or stopped by the Nazis.

You’ll also notice the misaligned pieces of the star. If you take the memorial out of the ground and flatten it, you’ll notice that the star isn’t perfect. Some of that is due to my primitive cutting equipment, but most of that was done on purpose to symbolise that all the Jewish people in the world were kind of shocked and in a bad way. Hence the crooked star representing the separation and unconnected nature of the religion and culture.

被压迫之星是一个小型项目，我决定要记住在二战中大屠杀的艰苦事件中死去的犹太人。

名字选择

将我的大屠杀纪念碑命名为“被压迫之星”的原因是为了提醒人们犹太人必须经历的情况以及他们如何被所有特权所压迫，并没有任何自由漫游并做他们喜欢的事情。

物料

我的微型1/27比例的模型计划由薄抛光铝板制成，因为我认为金属不是犹太人在营地中所具有的东西，也因为它具有建造结构的有用延展性。 它瘦弱的原因在于描绘了犹太人本身非常渺茫，因为他们饿死了，而且他们只有很少的资源需要处理。  1/27比例的原因是因为纪念馆的实际大小大约是第二次世界大战中犹太人的大小。

位置

我将纪念馆放置在一个人口稠密的地方，许多人坐下来聊天或走路。 许多人会注意到这个纪念碑，并希望将其视为特别的并尊重所发生的事情。 我的纪念碑也是一件现代艺术品，孩子们可以自由地在它周围漫游并藏在它下面。 我的纪念碑前面还会有一块牌匾，上面写着纪念碑的目的和一些简短的解释。

设计特点

第一个可能最重要的设计特征是大卫之星的形状。 恒星是如何弯曲到地面的，它的四个角落正在刺穿地面，以及它是如何在不在地面的角落上弯曲的。

弯曲的星形。 弯曲的位置通常与压力或遇险有关。 所以我代表了痛苦和抵抗犹太囚犯必须经历的痛苦。 接下来，四个角被刺入地面。 在大卫之星中有六个角点。 在我的纪念馆中，四人或他们被刺入地下。 这象征着纳粹能够在他们不希望他们做的一切事情中压制犹太人的方式 - 当时和犹太人如何能够报复和争取自由。 另外两个弯曲点象征着纳粹所有对犹太人的报复行为是如何被弯曲或阻止的。

你还会注意到这颗恒星的错位。 如果你将纪念碑从地上拿下来并将其弄平，你会注意到这颗恒星并不完美。 其中一些原因是由于我的原始切割设备，但其中大部分都是为了象征着世界上所有犹太人都有点震惊和不好的方式。 因此，歪曲的恒星代表了宗教和文化的分离和不相关的性质。
