Took in a lot of sights around Berlin, and there are a lot of memorials to visit, but this one stuck with me. It's a memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe. I really liked it because this one was this huge square (probably 1/4 mile square) of these odd size blocks of various heights and sizes. Each block is meant in some way to symbolize the uprooting of the lives and families of Jews in Europe. As you walk through the memorial the floor is undulating at various heights so one minute you are standing above ground overlooking all these blocks and the next you are in a maze between them. Very cool and interesting.
