Reading through and after some researches on the Berlin Jewish Museum, understand about the design of Daniel Libeskind, it's quite incredible to have those ideas blended in the design of the building.

In my opinion, the Jewish Museum is successful in commemorating the dead. Though the 3 axes which indicate the 3 realities of Jewish life in Germany, each of them have explained clearly of the overall of the history and presence of the Jews in Germany.


The 3 axes that went to different path, in a story line of the Jewish' History in Germany through the architecture of the Jewish Museum

From what I have researched, the Jews actually led to a very hard life in Germany and Austria in the older days, since year 1930-s. First axes that lead from the old Baroque building to the new building of Jewish Museum. This had represented the Jews the continuation of the Jews' living in Germany. German - Jews, related to each other.

Second axes that lead from the new building out to the Garden of Exile and Emigration outdoor. From year 1933 to 1939 in the history of Jews in Germany, a great amount of Jews had fled from Germany to other countries, due to the degree of pressure placed on the Jewish community in Germany and the willingness of other countries to admit Jewish immigrants. The Garden with slanted pillars represented the instability of the emigration period that time and the plants on top of the pillars represented hope.

While the third axes was the dead end of Holocaust, where a huge number of Jews remaining in Germany had been killed during the Holocaust time. T.T Such hopeless resemblance. References: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocaust

Even the openings of the building was design according to the history time line of the Jews during their hard time in Germany. And the Voids inside the building, all the mysteries and truth that could not be revealed.

A lot of considerations have been made and it's like a story a person could experience during the journey inside the building. Despite all the monuments and things being displayed inside the museum, the building itself has already been a story to tell itself, as a background, enhancing the history of Jews.

So-get-inspired suddenly by this Jewish museum. @.@ I really thinks it did commemorate the life of the past of the Jews successfully.


The mosaic art on the facade of the National Museum showing the development of Malaysia

For the local example, the National Museum, with the blend of traditional Malay architecture with modern lines, despite being stimulative from the point of tradition also presents a panoramic view of the development of Malaysia, as depicted by the two large murals of Italian mosaic, which extend across the facade of the building.
This two big arts of mosaic that tell the story, the development of Malaysia is aspiring. through the story line on wall, people would know more about Malaysia in an interesting way. The people that live during certain period, the ancestors, the dead could be commemorate when being put on a big display on a main facade of a building.

But for the best example of commemorating the dead and past in Malaysia, could be the National Monument where a sculpture of the soldiers of comrades being placed. It had been standing there since 1966. The soldiers had been fighting hard to protect our nations from the Japanese and Malayan Emergency. The monument embodying seven bronze statues also represents the triumph of the forces of democracy over the forces of evil. Each of the bronze figures symbolizes leadership, suffering, unity, vigilance, strength, courage and sacrifice.


The National Monument with Bronze sculptures of our Heroes of Malaysia as a respect and commemorating them.

The monument was placed in the monument complex encompasses five main components; the National Monument, fountains, pavilion, a war memorial and the surrounding gardens. All these was aimed to commemorate the dead who had fought for our nation. References: http://www.malaxi.com/kuala_lumpur/tugu_negara.html

By looking at the sculpture standing there, I guess the family of the fallen comrades will feel very much relieved mentally, as their ancestors being remembered, their effort being appreciated, standing for decades in the city center of Malaysia. Just by looking at it, the people will feel so proud of our own nation. I felt the same way when I visited this place when I was just 11 years old and it's still the same during the last visit on May this year. Sitting at a very nice location by facing the fountain, with a war memorial, it has been a very important spots in Kuala Lumpur.

I think as to be seen in site planning wise, the Monument Complex is very near to the Lake Garden, Parliament Building Malaysia, National Mosque, National Museum and a lot of important buildings. All these are having the objectives of representing Malaysia and some, show the idea of Malaysia, history and same of commemorating the dead and past as well.

Best way of commemorating the heroes of Malaysia, hmm. By looking at the example of the Jewish Museum, I felt so @.@ great of that idea in commemorating the dead. The architecture did speak about the story of the Jews first, and as a great background of the past. Of course although the National Monument didn't bring as big impact to me as the Jews Museum, I think it's great to have it there as an appreciation and commemoration towards the heroes of Malaysia. It bring a great significance to the KL city as well.

By having a museum for the heroes, with the same method of using the language of architecture as well, making a short film, showing the sacrifices and hard fight they had in protecting the country ad display just beside the National Monument, making the whole area a place for the Heroes, enhancing the impact of the National Monument that bring into the people's mind.
I think they could have been commemorated well, being known by the future generation and whoever who visited the place.
