The Holocaust-Mahnmal (Memorial to the murdered jews of Europe) near Brandenburger Tor was just one of the many new sights during this past weekend in Berlin. The Mahnmal has created controversy as well. To me, it was a was a strong experience and I'm glad we took the time. Yes, one can easily feel lost there. And the increasing height of the heavy concrete blocks can be very impressive as well, reminding one of separation and agony.
There would be many other, more joyful accounts of the trip. But I chose this one (partly because of the picture) and, for now, feel too tired to expand, having just arrived. I need to acclimatise!
