Holocaust Memorial – Stopping monument

Holocaust Memorial is a stopping monument in the middle of Berlin, just a couple hundred meters from Brandenburger Tor.

The memorial consists of hundreds of concrete slabs organised in rows. The slabs have enough space in between them for people to stroll into the monument.

Holocaust Memorial

Wandering among the slabs makes you silent — the scale of the slabs is intimidating when you go deeper, and the contrast between them and the gently sloping ground is stark.
