What people are saying:
The memorial is a thoughtful offering to all people, which needs to be experienced. tread slowly through the cement blocks and pay attention to what feelings arise. From the way the ground goes up and down in waves to depict unsteadiness, to the stripping off individual identities that the blocks represent, they all tell different facets of the story. take your time here. We owe it to our present and future selves.

Additional Information
Introduction
From the outside, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe may seem rather unassuming and pedestrian. You may be drawn over by its curious nature or you may be seeking it out expressly. Either way, the extremely conceptual brainchild of Peter Eisenman and Burro Happold is not to be missed on any trip to Berlin. Step into the maze of concrete blocks and prepare to be swallowed into its incredible depth. Aside from its extremely obvious historical importance and significance, the field of monoliths is extremely physically imposing-- for good reason. You're meant to feel the gravity and weight of the stone as you wind your way through the negative spaces. Despite being an incredible sombre and humbling experience, you'll leave with a new appreciation for Berlin and for history.

Somber memorial to the Jews killed in Europe. Unfortunately, there are still people who take it respectful tourist posing photos here.
It is a very impressive place. Besides, I feel it is great from an architecture perspective.
Impressive monument dedicated to the Jewish people murdered during the War
Breathtaking memorial for the holocaust . You walk around between the stones and as you get deeper you get lost and become tiny as the Jews felt when everything was closing on them
