Created by Sarah Maravetz and Gillian McCallion, June 2017 as part of MICA's MPS in Information Visualization. Liquidation is a data visualization installation that represents the population fluctuations in the Łódź Ghetto, in Poland between 1940 and 1944. The goal of the installation is to tell the story of the annihilation of a group of people by the Nazis, striving simultaneously to communicate the scale of the horrors and to memorialize the women, men, and children who were murdered. This design has been selected by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. to be prototyped and is currently being developed by exhibit specialists at the U.S.H.M.M. with hopes of becoming an exhibit in the museum.
