Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, located in Berlin, Germany, is a significant tribute to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Designed by architect Peter Eisenman and opened in 2005, it features 2,711 concrete slabs of varying heights arranged in a grid pattern. The design is intentionally abstract, provoking reflection on loss and moral ambivalence. The site also includes an underground information center that provides historical context and personal stories. The memorial seeks to honor the memory of those who perished and to ensure that such atrocities are not forgotten.
