What an opportunity to experience the Denkmal fur die ermordeten Juden Europas, Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe ( english translation ). The memorial was created by Peter Eisenman. Using a grid pattern of 2711 'steale', the memorial covers an area of 19,000m squared. The foundation for this memorial is of course the Holocaust, but also for visitors to have their own personal experience whilst visiting, hence the narrow walkways - allowing only one person at a time to journey the paths. You will notice from my photos the contrast in the site of the memorial in relation to the background of lush trees. Along with the different heights for each column, the site is undulating - allowing for many perspectives throughout the memorial.
