I am still wondering what the fuss is about. The building has only a few momentos of the past and some ugly and almost silly architecture with acute angles and a monument of drab concrete pillars. I really appreciated Jewish museums and momorials in other cities but I'm sorry this was a waste of time and entirely too self-indulgent. I... more

I'm very impressed with this memorial. I'm touched - moved, by this labyrinth of black granite. You feel completely alone and lost. There is no beginning and no end. No question and no answer. No right or wrong. This is a true and anxious reminder of all the murdered Jews. Please go - it's important! more

I was moved by the Memorial in Berlin - it extends over a city block, with a museum in the basement that reflects not only the historical context of the Nazi era, but the human aspects of the Holocaust, with individual devastating fates described in multimedia in a touching and sensitive way. A bookstore with a very good selection of... more

I found this place to be fitting, how could a statue or a garden express what happened to the Jewish people during the 30's and 40's.

Literally you cant miss it, its right near Potsdamer Platz and is very large indeed, very moving and unique well worth a wander to it if your in Berlin! more

A great tribute to the lives of those lost during the holocaust. Very thought-provoking. Take your time to explore it, we were on a tour when we saw it and had to keep moving, wish we'd had longer to stay and experience it for longer. more

The memorial is a very impressive ?artwork? but is it supposed to be honoured or enjoyed. The reason I ask is that when we turned the corner people were lying across the stonework enjoying the sun. Further in both adults and children were playing hide and seek running between the different pillars. It is hard to have relate the memorial... more

This museum leaves you speechless. You cannot see Berlin without having been here. more

A memorial as different as this to all other memorials in the country could only have been made today (or 2005 actually). It's an anti-monument that completely rewrites the rules of the politics of memory. Fascinating. Equally interesting is to see how different people react to it. I found it depressing how many people treat it like a playground and... more
