Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe



This is a Holocaust memorial with 2,711 gravestone-pillars finished in 2005. The number of gravestones don't represent anything its just the number of gravestones that fit on the plot.

The memorial was very hard and cold and the walkways seemed to go on forever. I think its important to take time and think about the devastation's that occur during war. It seems very apparent that the German government is working very hard at educating people about their dark past. Recognizing that knowledge of these terrible events, will hopefully prevent this from reoccurring.

I remember going to a holucost memorial in Israel and how sad it was! I will never forget it - and I learned so much about such a sad part of our history.
