Worth a visit. Because what it is, at least. Close to Brandenburg Gate. We come to Berlin for business trips at the end of January/early February every year. I have visited this memorial a few times. I found this draft I haven’t finished yet and I think I should post it.

A nice memorial to a terrible time in history. It is right next to the Brandenburg Gate, so can see both of them at the same time.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also known as the Holocaust Memorial, is a large memorial located in the center of Berlin, Germany. It was designed by the architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold, and was dedicated in 2005. The memorial consists of a 19,000 square meter site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field. The slabs vary in height and width, creating an undulating landscape.The memorial is intended to commemorate the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust, and serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed during that time. The memorial has been widely praised for its powerful and evocative design, which creates a sense of unease and disorientation. The Memorial also has an underground Information Center that visitors can tour to learn more about the history of the Holocaust and its victims.The Memorial has been the subject of much debate and controversy, with some criticizing it for not being specific enough about the victims and others for not being respectful enough. Despite this, it's considered as one of the most visited and meaningful tourist attraction in Berlin, serving as a reminder of the past atrocities and warning for the future.As a side note, it is important to show respect when visiting memorials or other sites related to tragic events. Visitors are expected to maintain a somber and reflective tone, and to be mindful of the solemn nature of the site.#berlin #beautifull #jewasofeurope #memorial #Germany

It is a place to show the respect to those Jews who sacrificed in Germany. It is important to learn from the history.

Eisenman’s design fundamentally broke the concept of monuments and abandoned any use of symbolic symbols. The mesh pathway, comprising 2,711 cement monuments, has many entrances and exits and is accessible to visitors. The number 2711 was determined by the architect based on the area of the memorial, which has no symbolic significance and has no connection with the number of victims. The material of the monument is a very hard gray automatic sealing concrete, which is produced near Berlin. In order to ensure the quality of the surface layer of the stele for a long time, a multi-layer processing scheme is used in the production process, so that the graffiti traces can be easily removed. From the southeast side of the monument, you can reach an underground information hall by steps or elevator. The design style of the exhibition hall is consistent with the block-shaped style of the monument group, and the information about the victims, the victims and the memorial sites today is introduced. The museum is free and has a Chinese introduction. Under Eisenman's plan, the concrete slab was designed to create an atmosphere that was disturbing and disturbing, and the entire sculpture was intended to represent an original order that was kept away from humans due to human factors. A 2005 booklet originally printed for the monument's British passengers said the design represented a fierce approach to traditional ideas about monuments, because Eisenman did not use any symbolism. In the attached underground "Local Information" (German: Ort der Information), list all known names of the victims of the Jewish Holocaust Memorial in Israel.

The Holocaust monument, close to the Bundestag and the Brandenburg Gate, consists of 2711 gray pillars of varying lengths. Think of the design as a maze, and look like waves from a distance. Each stone monument has no text logo, is a countless dead soul in silent crying; the material is solid and heavy like a coffin. Stepping into it, the endless and monotonous shape makes people feel involuntarily in meditation.
