Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe – Berlin
This memorial is an expansive memorial dedicated to the 6 million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust. The memorial is a very controversial one with several painful scandals coming to light over the project’s life. Some criticize the memorial for only being dedicated to murdered Jews and not to other victims of Nazi genocide. It’s spooky in places, especially near the middle of the monument, where many feel a sense of confinement. Each of the concrete slabs of this memorial has its own foundation, and they tilt at differing angles. The Field of Stelae is open to the public day and night.
It is one of the most visited memorials in Berlin and it’s worth it, as it’s one of the most impressive memorials in Berlin. For other landmarks and sights in Berlin take a look at our Top 10 things to do in Berlin.
