This was included as part of a guided tour. Many large, stone rectangular sculptures of varying height - area for quiet contemplation.

Very modern and thought provoking, we visited the Holocaust Memorial at sunset. Very stark monument and makes you think how else could you show respect to the fallen Jews. Should it be ornate and detailed or as it is blank with no words. A talking point within our tour group.
Love it or hate it - the memorial leaves its mark and something you will remember as it is so different.

Impressive memorial for the fallen jews during the holocaust. It makes you feel small and sad... it gives perspective to how many people were killed during such a horrible time in history.

There are 2 sections -- the above ground controversial monuments and the underground museum section. It really brings much of the individual people alive with their own writing and family histories.

Great visit, would recommend. So much history and emotion when visiting the memorial.
I spent a good couple of hours walking round, reading all the information and taking it all in.

It's a really interesting monuments and i'think that could be fine visit it. The prospective change while you're walking through it and because of that there are some rules to respect (very important to not walk on the Pillars)

You arrive and you are much taller then the blocks, you can easily see over the top, you can see all, you can see into the distance and it is not really very imposing....but as you enter, the blocks become bigger, because you get in deeper, and then you are in a labyrinth of huge athorative blocks, and you cannot see your way out, and it went very quickly from thinking you can see everything,, to being in over your head with no visible way out. It can happen to anyone, to any people, and it happens fast.

Make sure you take your time to walk through the memorial and take it all in. Do not rush when you are there. One must also do the underground museum which you must book online, take your time to go through it all, very powerful museum beneath the memorial which I think a lot of people either forget to do or don't know of

Do not miss this memorial during a trip to Berlin. Free to visit (just capacity controlled via free tickets) with an indoor/underground information center with interpretive exhibit.

We'd been here before with no explanation of what it represented. This time, we walked through. It allowed us to experience some semblance of the serious disorientation Jews in WWII must have felt, dislocated from their comfortable lives and forced into cattle cars with no idea where they were headed. It's a powerful memorial.

Bonjour, y a-t-il un parking à proximité ?

Oui, il y a possibilité de se garer à proximité notamment vers la Posdammer platz ou bien dans les rues à côté ou vers le Tier garten. En fait , il n'est pas très difficile de stationner sur Berlin.

How appropriate is the museum for an 11 year old who knows a little about the history of the Holocaust?

It is a good question. I definitely agree that the audio guide would not be appropriate. Personally, I found this museum to be very moving, but I don’t recall there to be many graphic pictures of dead bodies etc. I would focus less on the enormity of the tragedy and instead look at the individual stories of those who perished. There is one room which details letters sent by those who later died and that would be something a 12 year old would be able to comprehend. To conclude, I would only take a mature 12 year old child here.

In the first row this is not a museum, it's only monument of granite gray blocks near by Brandenburg tor. If you like to know more about this, you should visit a museum which is on the left side of monument, below the road. Pls, check only what is an appropriate ege to enter in this museum. I did not visit it because there was a long queue.

Bonjour
Combien de temps faut il compter pour "visiter" cet endroit symbolique ... y a-t-il un "sens" de déambulation, où peut on s'y perdre tranquillement ?
Est-ce visitable de nuit ?
Merci par avance

Efectivamente todo lo anteriormente expuesto es lo que hay que ver. A mi me sorprendió bastante el Campo de Concentración de Sachsenhausen, sale un travÃa que te deja muy cerca de Alexander Platz y tambien Postdam.
