Holocaust Memorial (Berlin)

The Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, officially called the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, is a powerful tribute to the six million Jews who perished during the Holocaust. It features 2,711 concrete slabs of varying heights arranged in a grid pattern, creating a disorienting experience meant to evoke feelings of loss and remembrance. Underneath the memorial, an information center provides historical context about the Holocaust, aiming to educate visitors about this tragic chapter in history and honor the victims. Opened in 2005, it stands as a solemn reminder of the past and a call to prevent future atrocities.
