Ben Wood is devoted to exploring site-based history, and telling history in public space through new media, video and projected art for the general public. He connects people with site and history through site-based projection art.

Proposed Jewish Cemetery Memorial, Seelow, Germany

My great-grandfather and great-great grandparents and other ancestors have been buried in a Jewish Cemetery in Germany since the 1800s. During the Nazi period the cemetery was desecrated and in World War Two it was destroyed and later paved over as a parking lot, which it has remained for over 60 years.  I am recovering the history of the cemetery and I am working on a proposal with the town to create a memorial and return the paved over cemetery as a memorial park.

Stolperstein for my great-grandfathers

Over the past year I have been engaged in the process of researching and applying for my great-grandfathers and other ancestors who were victims of the Holocaust. It is my hope that the Stolperstein will be laid in the next year.
