This is definitely one of the top things to see in Berlin. It is very walkable from the Brandenburg Gate. It is simple, yet moving. We suggest reading a description about it when you are there or in advance to understand the artist's intentions. You can walk through it. The wavy walkways and tall and short blocks make it very interesting. We spent about 10-15 minutes here.
It feels wrong when the rating says "loved it", because obviously it's not something to love, but the place was so worth the visit. The museum was heartbreaking and difficult to go through, but the staff was lovely and making sure to follow the covid guidelines to keep their guests safe. My one wish is that they should put clear signs that what you can listen to on the phones are stories from survivors. I thought it would be audio of the information of the room since there was a lot of text in that room, but my sister decided to listen and told me what it was, so I could listen too, and those stories were the most heartbreaking and powerful ones there. Please put up some clearer signs so more people get to experience those stories. They're important.
A place you truly don't understand unless you walk the grounds and think. The artist really thought about this concept and it really makes you ponder it's vital significance. No line or tickets needed. Walk between the rows. Very thought provoking and humbling experience.
The sun was there, the air was blowing a little, but it was still hot, but I got freezed. The walls were so cold, soulless and numb. How an ideology affected people's lives could only be described as beautifully as this monument! The persecuted people at that time probably also felt like these concretes. The people were cold, the system was ruthless, and society was insensitive. While this critical masterpiece criticizes the system of that time, it sings a rhythmless song for the slain.
Must vist and you cannot skip this. In the very heart of the city next to Brandenbirg gate, the memorial is huge symbol of the dark past. Very impactful amd uncomfortable for the right reasons. The memorial is an unique experience. The holocaust exhibition underneath is brutal and will break you down with real and unfortunate strories of Jews who were murdered. It is emotional heavy to visit the museum.
It is the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also known as the Holocaust Memorial by most Berliners. It is opened in May 2005, the city's most impressive sight is located near the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany. The Holocaust Memorial is silent but it is talking about history and would feel something exciting or you would see something strange when you arrive there.
The Memorial is one of the must-see places in Berlin. It is located in the very center of the city next to the Bradenburg Gate, the Teegarten Park and the Bundestag building. I advise you to come here in the afternoon, when there will not be large crowds of schoolchildren. Here you will feel both pain and peace, you will be able to see how fragile human life is. Now the Memorial is very responsive to the atrocities committed by the Russian invaders in Ukraine.
Saw from afar some idiots jumping on top of the blocks. Other than that, I felt emotional walking around here. My tour guide said that the artist kept the design vague because there's just no way to properly represent into art what transpired back then.
It's a bittersweet feeling..i saw some kids playing freely through these pillars..but years ago in the very same place people were fighting for their lives.. It's definitely worth visiting
It’s hard to give a rating for a memorial like this. It has so much meaning to different people who have and will visit it. it’s very difficult to interpret the meaning of a rating and what it could imply to something like this. Personally I found it quite a moving experience walking through the blocks and reading some of the information about various individuals. Walking between the blocks I felt strength, a unity of purpose and a statement that those who have been and will be persecuted have a voice, maybe not their own but none the less persecution can’t be hidden.
