The Holocaust Memorial - Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

Located near the Brandenburg Gate, the memorial consists of 2,711 concrete slabs arranged in a grid pattern, creating a stark, disorienting landscape. The varying heights of the slabs evoke feelings of unease and loss, symbolizing the chaos and inhumanity of the Holocaust. Beneath the field of stelae is an underground information center, offering historical context and personal accounts of the atrocities committed during World War II. The memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of remembering and honoring the millions of lives lost. It stands as a place of reflection, urging visitors to confront history and ensure that such atrocities are never forgotten.
