Monument in honor of the ruined Jews by the Nazis. The memorial complex has a rather interesting and unusual architectural solution, which accurately conveys the atmosphere of horror that reigned in Germany after Hitler came to power. The memorial consists of several rows of nameless gray tombstones of various sizes. They seem to form a maze and symbolize death and hopelessness.

Entering the site, it is more impressive than how it looks from the outside. Once you are in the centre, you do feel more closed off from your surroundings.

A wonderful memorial and museum that is like nothing I have ever seen.
Every stone is different and wandering along the rows not only captivates you but also disorientates you too. The museum is free for visitors and very interesting.

One of the best memorials ever done.
Truly breathtaking in its beauty and powerful in its presence. A masterpiece for such a tragic part of history.

My one wish is that they should put clear signs that what you can listen to on the phones are stories from survivors.

1. Through your Instagram influencer BS out the window and understand the memorials thought processing, floor placement layout etc.
