The Jewish Memorial/Museum


In 2005, Germany finished completion of the Jewish Memorial, a monument to all of the murdered Jews, it features 2,700 concrete slabs of different heights, widths and depths scattered across a square. With steps in the middle which lead to the memorial museum. It was unveiled on the 60th anniversary of the end of World War 2. You can walk through the slabs in any direction as their is no specific route or information to follow. The memorial is situated by the Brandenburg Gate and is between East and West Berlin.

The Memorial below, was very insigntful, reading stories from the war was very harrowing and upsetting, but interesting at the same time. It offers lots of in-depth information and a chronolgical ordering of events that surrounded the war, with lots of displays and posters. I would definetly recommend anyone to visit.
