Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a poignant place of remembrance made up of 2,711 steles. It evokes a feeling of isolation and contemplation, in the heart of Berlin.

Surrounded by these cold steles, a deep silence reigns there. Although they may seem small at first glance, once you are there, you feel ridiculously small, lost in a giant labyrinth. I must say that this kind of place particularly moves me. In short, a must-see ❤️

In the basement, a mini museum is dedicated to the massacre of the Jews.

Regarding the Memorial, I must say that our visit began quite poorly. Indeed, I envisioned it surrounded by trees, in a peaceful corner, but... not at all. The 2,711 steles are arranged in a large space in the middle of the city, with construction sites everywhere. The disappointment could have been huge if we hadn't gone to the heart of the Memorial.

Near the Brandenburg Gate is the Holocaust Memorial. It pays tribute to the approximately 6 million Jews who were killed during World War II. About 2,700 stelae of different sizes make up this concrete cemetery.
