The Holocaust Memorial is basically a site that is dedicated to the six million people who lost their lives during Hitler’s reign in Germany. The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a site that is probably one of the most heart breaking in the history of the World. The huge space between Brandenburger tor and Potsdamer Platz is covered by grey concrete graves that reflect upon the oppressive and torturous times that the Jews had to go through. The minimalism of this place is what will strike you the first when you go here. The site holds great importance as a memoir of a terrible time for Germany. The graves called the stalae reflect the severe tragedy that ravaged the human life there. Two other memorials to the victims of the Holucast namely; The memorial to the Sinti and Roma of Europe Murdered under the National Socialist Regime, and the Memorial to the Homosexuals Persecuted under the National Socialist Regime, have also been constructed in the same place. They are symbols against the exclusion and intolerance that people have faced over the years.

One cannot stress on the importance of the site enough. It is a memorial like no other in history and one hopes there won’t be another to build. For the tourist it is a site worth visiting and remembering the past. Suggested itineraries: Berlin in 5 days and Berlin itinerary 7 days.
