What a wonderful and sad place. The memorial is very thought provoking, and I really appreciate the way that genocide in all its forms is also covered. Not great for young kids. Book in advance, tickets are free.

A powerful and haunting memorial to the Jews who perished under the Nazis during WWII. Might bring your day down though if you're not expecting it.

Aimed at documenting the past of the holocause and other genocide with a view to preventing this happening in the future and eliminating hatred, I really loved the sentiment of this place. Carried out with great panache too the museum really packs a punch, definitely a must-see it's thought-provoking and wise.

It is impossible to think of Germany and not think of the pure evil that overtook the nation during World War II, and the events that led up to it. However, it is hard to truly get a feel for an enormity of the crimes, which is why the Holocaust Memorial serves as a reminder. This highly moving and emotional museum does a good job of probing the causes that led up to the holocaust, as well as the holocaust itself.
