Berlin, Germany
The Holocaust Memorial, in the German capital.
A monument located between the Brandenburg Gate and Potsdamer Platz, commemorating the Jewish victims exterminated by the Nazis during the Shoah.
The Memorial was designed by the American architect Peter Eisenman and the engineer Buro Happold as a 19,073 m2 ‘field’, covered with 2,711 concrete steles arranged in a grid. These steles are supposed to produce an atmosphere of unease and confusion, representing a supposedly orderly system that has lost touch with human reason. The emotion is palpable, and you can't go there without thinking of the victims of Nazi horror.
Different levels immerse us in emotion and history.
Aesthetically, this place of remembrance is rather austere, but the succession of steles fascinates the eye.
It's a place of tears, but also of hope for a humanity that learns from its mistakes.
 
I lay down on the ground and looked up, as I often do.
I saw a cross...The symbols of a God are everywhere, even if in this cruel world we often wonder where the mercy is.
