Holocaust Memorial





These are pictures that Big Frank took of the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. It was completed in 2005 and is a memorial to the Jewish victims of the Nazi-planned genocide of WWI. It is composed of 2711 rectangular concrete blocks of varying height placed on undulating ground - as though it were some giant cemetary. It is best experienced from within the structure - wandering along the cobblestones between the narrow passage ways between the cement blocks. A beautiful memorial to the victims of the holocaust.

Wow, it looks beautiful. A truly introspective experience I'd imagine.
