  LOST LIBRARY AS A SYMBOL
  

  Yossi Dotan writes: "The story in last week's E-Sylum on the
  library of old books in Nepal that was completely sealed reminded
  me of the Jewish Museum at the Judenplatz (Jews Square) in
  Vienna, Austria.
  

  On the square in front of the museum is the very impressive
  Memorial to Austrian Holocaust Victims. As told in an article
  "The Virtual Jewish History Tour – Vienna" by Rebecca Weiner
  on the website Jewish Virtual Library (A Division of The
  American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise),
  

  "Unveiled in 2000, the reinforced concrete cube resembles a
  library of 7,000 volumes turned inside out. The doors are locked
  and the books face inwards. The base of the memorial has the
  names of the places where 65,000 Austrian Jews were murdered
  by the Nazis. Created by British artist Rachel Witeread, the
  memorial's barred room and books that cannot be read represent
  the loss of those who were murdered."
