The controversial "Memorial to the Murdered Jews in Europe". Dedicated in May of this year, it is quite significant. Covering the area of half a city block, it is filled with over 2,700 concrete pillars of various heights and angles. Personally, I felt the memorial lacked an appropriate sense of respect but this was made up for in the underground museum. Brandon and I both left touched and aware of our ignorance in regards to the profound horror and extent of the Nazi plan which led to the deaths of 6.5-7 million Jews.
