The iconic and sombre Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a sorrowful tribute to the Jewish victims of Germany’s Nazi regime. A 4.7 acre site covered with 2711 concrete slabs in a grid pattern on a sloping field, these slabs were designed and arranged to create an unsettling and confusing atmosphere. Located where the Berlin Wall used to be, it acts as the centre connecting the many holocaust monuments scattered across Berlin, and even Germany, to reiterate that this memory is still alive in the heart of the nation.

It is also situated near foreign embassies in Berlin, so that political diplomats and leaders worldwide can witness the sorrow of a country regarding its harrowing past, and her efforts to move past it. So take an afternoon and walk through this Memorial - remembering all those who were unjustly killed. Let it shock your senses, and let it remind you that no matter where you are in the world, discrimination and injustice should never be allowed to prevail.
