The Brandenburg Gate, Holocaust Memorial and site of the Fuhrerbunker are all within a short distance of each other. If you go to see one, see them all. The monument is guarded. It's up to each person to interpret the meaning of the large blocks of cement that populate the area.

The idea of the memorial is nice but the application is filled with mistakes. If you visit the memorial this year, you will notice that almost 50% of the blocks have cracks, some have big ones. And many other blocks have tilted. Half of the memorial site was blocked for visitors because of maintenance work and several pieces have been supported by metal rings to keep them from falling apart. It does not look as good as it used to be.

The holocaust memorial is designed as a a combination of art- to be interpreted by the individual as well as testimony using vision, sound and words to remember the holocaust throughout Europe, not just the events in Germany. It’s not a place of artefacts - it’s a place of memory, lists, stories.

We passed quickly though the memorial and that was enough for me. The number of obelisks and the layout with the sunken centre provide food for thought. It would be nice to think this was a memorial to the last genocide in Europe but sadly, it isn't.

Thousands of coffin like cement rectangular shapes of varying sizes evoking the enormity of the Nazi's genocide against its Jewish citizens. One visitor said it was particularly emotional to visit the site when the sun was setting as there are fewer visitors and its easier to feel the disorientation as you walk into a seeming abyss of coffins. Behind this large area is an information center with data on the millions of victims. The site is right near the Brandenburg Gate and across the street from the Tiergarten Park.

Some of the memorial was closed off during my visit but small blocks soon grow as you walk deeper into the memorial. Soon depth and oppressive feeling is manifest as the blocks tower over your head with narrow walkways. Literally only a few steps from the Brandenburg gate and free, so everyone should take 5-10 minutes minimum to appreciate the memorial.

On arrival it doesn't stand out or scream at you.
Once you realise the depth, the undulating floor and the temporary claustrophobia it certainly shook me to the core.
Designed perfectly and it is left for you, the individual, to open your mind to the entire reason this memorial had to be built.
We must all walk away from this having learnt valuable lessons

This place brought a tear to my eye. It isn't a memorial in the conventional sense, it is something totally unique, in the same way that the holocaust was unique.

Is the memorial suitable for disabled guests in a wheelchair?

Around it - yes. But in some places the stones are too close to each other and the road can be tight.

Oui, il y a possibilité de se garer à proximité notamment vers la Posdammer platz ou bien dans les rues à côté ou vers le Tier garten. En fait , il n'est pas très difficile de stationner sur Berlin.

How appropriate is the museum for an 11 year old who knows a little about the history of the Holocaust?

It is a good question. I definitely agree that the audio guide would not be appropriate. Personally, I found this museum to be very moving, but I don’t recall there to be many graphic pictures of dead bodies etc. I would focus less on the enormity of the tragedy and instead look at the individual stories of those who perished. There is one room which details letters sent by those who later died and that would be something a 12 year old would be able to comprehend. To conclude, I would only take a mature 12 year old child here.

In the first row this is not a museum, it's only monument of granite gray blocks near by Brandenburg tor. If you like to know more about this, you should visit a museum which is on the left side of monument, below the road. Pls, check only what is an appropriate ege to enter in this museum. I did not visit it because there was a long queue.

Bonjour
Combien de temps faut il compter pour "visiter" cet endroit symbolique ... y a-t-il un "sens" de déambulation, où peut on s'y perdre tranquillement ?
Est-ce visitable de nuit ?
Merci par avance

Efectivamente todo lo anteriormente expuesto es lo que hay que ver. A mi me sorprendió bastante el Campo de Concentración de Sachsenhausen, sale un travÃa que te deja muy cerca de Alexander Platz y tambien Postdam.
