BGHRA historical resource guide
Ulrike Truger created a granite memorial to Marcus Omofuma, who died during deportation from Austria. Installed near the Vienna State Opera without authorization in 2003, the memorial was later moved to a site near the MuseumsQuartier. Its history opens a discussion of who can claim public space for remembrance and how individual lives become part of a city’s account of racism and human dignity.
