Jewish Memorial in Berlin, Germany

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe^[ also known as the Holocaust Memorial (German: Holocaust-Mahnmal), is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, designed by architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold. It consists of a 19,000 m² (4.7-acre) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field. 

(Note from Blogger:  Basically, we are talking BIG rectangular stones here, impossible to take photos in colour as you can see.)

According to Eisenman's project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason. A 2005 copy of the Foundation for the Memorial's official English tourist pamphlet, however, states that the design represents a radical approach to the traditional concept of a memorial, partly because Eisenman did not use any symbolism. However, observers have noted the memorial's resemblance to a cemetery.^[2][3][4] An attached underground "Place of Information" (German: Ort der Information) holds the names of all known Jewish Holocaust victims, obtained from the Israeli museum Yad Vashem.

Building began on April 1, 2003 and was finished on December 15, 2004. It was inaugurated on May 10, 2005, sixty years after the end of World War II, and opened to the public two days later. It is located one block south of theBrandenburg Gate, in the Friedrichstadt neighbourhood.  

Jewish Memorial stretches over 4 acres.
This was the tallest and deepest section which is shallow around the edges.
Security guards try to prevent people from climbing on the stones - or eating lunch on
the table-like lower ones.
There were hordes of tourists here - amazing that we got any photos with no people.

Trees at the end of the corridor through the deepest section.
More likely better photos will appear on WholeInTheDonut.

There is a lot of controversy about the memorial and this site.  If so inclined you can read about it by Googling Jewish Memorial or Holocaust Memorial Berlin.
