About Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

The concrete blocks stand in rows near the Brandenburg Gate, but the ground and the heights change as you walk. Peter Eisenman's memorial commemorates the Jews murdered in the Holocaust; move through its corridors mindful of where you are.

When it is open, include the underground information center: the personal accounts give the monument a human context. Set aside time to read and listen, plus a break afterward. This reflection deserves room before the next stop of the day.
