Denkmal fuer die ermordeten Juden Europas

Berlin Denkmal 1
Construction on this memorial had only just begun when I was last in Berlin. Literally translated, it's for the murdered Jews of Europe. The brochure gives a very delicate explanation as to why they didn't include everybody else on this one. Memorials for murdered homosexuals, Sinti, and Roma are supposedly in the works.

Anyway, this memorial knocked my socks off. It pulls you in like the Vietnam Memorial, only more so.
