"Joachimstrasse 20" is a 1992 photograph by Shimon Attie depicting a building in Berlin, Germany. The photograph, taken at night, shows the building's facade, which has been altered to display images of former Jewish residents. The building, once home to a theatre and a Torah reading room, is a powerful reminder of the Jewish community that once thrived in this neighborhood. The photograph, a part of Attie's larger "Ghost of a Chance" project, uses the urban landscape to investigate the erasure of Jewish presence in Europe, prompting reflection on the impact of history on contemporary life.
