In the March edition of Management Today,
Howard Davies reports on a recent visit to the European Central Bank, "
now magnificently rehoused on the edge of the city in what used to be the fruit and vegetable market". He reports that "
the basement of the vegetable market was rented out
to the Nazi government two days a week and used to assemble Jews en
route to the camps. ... The ECB has a thoughtful display commemorating
the dark side of the building’s past on the ground floor", but he reckons the refurbished building plus new-built addition is "
one of the most inspiring pieces of modern architecture" he knows.
