RE: The Shocking truth about the Holocaust ( Berlin History )
How the world sat silent and watch this horror unfold still surprises the heck out of me.
What is the symbolic significance of the raised block (the one you were standing on) in the memorial ground photos? Graves?
I know it was a dreadful time... It surprises me also how some countries just stood by and let this happen!!
I think the design is to interpret a cemetery thats what I got from it and they were in different levels... Some very high felt quite claustrophobic when I was walking through them can imagine thats how it felt in the concentration camps. Maybe? That was what I felt

Yes it definitely felt crammed I can't imagine what it would be like to visit one of the concentration camps if that was just a memorial ... Think that would be a lot worse

The words of Santayana are very true!!
