- Stephen DSeptember 19, 2017Exhibit in the underground museum is extensive and extremely well designed. Audio tour recommended. Above-ground monument is beautiful but it would be a mistake not to visit the museum itself.
- Martin MitchellMarch 13, 2016Just slabs of concrete but the place carries such an emotional and historical weight it's incredibly eerie! Go see at sunset as the shadows stretch and add to the atmosphere.Upvoted 1 week ago
- Artyom FedosovJuly 29, 2016Okay, it's 3000 large concrete blocks, occupying almost 20,000 m² in the city center. Try to imagine that every single block matches to 2000 (!!!) of murdered jewish man. Now look again on memorial.Upvoted Jan 21
- Lina DinarJune 12, 2016Nice and compact museum. Impressive, touching, to the point and a good reminder to all, how people can change and loose the humanity if planned and systematically applied, in good times or bad...
- Noah WeissMay 31, 2014My favorite museum in Berlin. If you want to learn about the holocaust in depth, this is much better than the Jewish or German history museums.
- Ruth MadrigalJuly 8, 2018A sobering place, visit the museum underneath as well. Entrance is free and you can spend from 40 minutes to a couple of hours there, depending on how much you want to browse the material available.
- Meltem KAugust 20, 2018Goosebumps guaranteed. Not because it is delicately carved or a bouquet of colours but because of the amount of murdered people it stands for. Please don‘t take happy photos here. Show some respect.
- GaëlleJune 10, 2018The Holocaust Memorial is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. It’s very worth visiting and the museum as well.
- Uliana MusikhinaMarch 5, 2017Absolutely unique. A great place to remember the history we all share. And please, don't make fun and stupid selfies there.
- K JDecember 4, 2014Love the concept and moving through it when there aren't crowds flocking through. I suggest if you're traveling and have got no phone, to come up with a meeting point or else you might lose your group
- Shaileshwori SharmaJanuary 30, 2016Biggest take-away for me from visiting this place is to do research before visiting. I missed underground museum & understood significance of the haunting memorial only afterwards. Avoid that mistake!
- Jackson TsaiMay 4, 2015Definitely visit this monumental memorial spot during the day and night, it's totally different feel. When you begin walking through these stones, the feeling of sublime
- Liesbeth Van VyncktApril 24, 2019Just totally awestruck. Genius memorial with so much impact. Can NOT be missed when in Berlin! But please treat it with respect, and reflect!
- Truls BärgMarch 24, 2017Perfect place for reflections over mankind. Never let it happen again! Go here and show respect, then continue to Brandenburger Tor and the Reichtag. Ponder that this beautiful city has such history.
- Ele Gagnidze 유July 18, 2016My favourite place in Berlin. Always visit it and spend some time there. Place has its own soul and is very peaceful.
- Siobhan WattsMay 11, 2014Very sobering place. Quite a few people do seem to think it's a make-out spot or a place to play hide and seek - but ignore them & try to walk quietly among the stones. Go to the visitors centre.
- Marius WatzSeptember 6, 2017A must-visit, the Peter Eisenman designed memorial creeps up on you. Not so spectacular at first glance, but when you go deep into the "valleys", it has an effect.
- Emiliano ViscarraSeptember 25, 2016Very interesting memorial. Different from what you usually see. Be aware that there's a museum downstairs. It is free and totally worth it.
- Ruth MadrigalJuly 8, 2018Also, please be respectful of this place. This is a memorial, not a park. The slabs are not benches for tourists to sit on, nor this is a labyrinth to run and play around.
- Martin JarčíkJuly 8, 2017Walk throughout the concrete blocks a feel the grey, feel the weight, get lost, perhaps sit on the cold floor, try not to get distracted by taking pictures or talking, think about the story...
- Brett LiderAugust 28, 2014A must visit. Please be respectful of the memorial and don't climb or act frivolously.
- Bethany BNovember 18, 2013Breathtaking. This is something that absolutely must be seen. You cannot just look though, walk through it an experience it. I cannot even begin to explain the experience you will feel.
- Matt AdlerJanuary 15, 2014The design may seem simple at first, but it's a complex metaphor that can be interpreted any way. Make sure to head down below the memorial. It's a very sad, eye-opening, firsthand experience.
- Samantha PorterJune 16, 2015Quite a moving memorial. But disappointed it had a line of restaurants at the side. While taking it in me and my partner were approached by a bar owner offering us romantic beers...killed the moment
- Shermans TravelSeptember 6, 2012Wander the Field of Stelae with its 2,711 monolithic gray concrete slabs arranged in a grid-like landscape. A subterranean museum houses exhibitions on the persecution and execution of European Jews.
- Shaun WestonOctober 19, 2014One of the best memorial spaces in the world. Take your time walking around and get lost in the maze of avenues.
- DoubleDeuceOctober 31, 2018A good stop if you are exploring the area for a stroll and consider the past.
- Francisco CanoAugust 13, 2014Walk through the seemingly endless rows of concrete slabs to experience the feelings of confusion, loneliness & disorientation that will allow you to truly appreciate the genius of this memorial.
- Anna van WAugust 25, 2016Love this beautiful memorial in Berlin, it really shows how Germany deals with the after war effects
- Timo MuttonenDecember 9, 2015Very beautiful place in the middle of Berlin. Gives you lots of thinking.
- Stacy Bo BacyJuly 20, 2019Artist says it is up to self-interpretation. Please do not stand on tops of blocks or run in between.
- Brian StraussJuly 10, 2017Moving. Imposing. Not only a remembrance of a terrible time, but an important "bookmark" in a rapidly changing society bent on erasing traces of its past.
- DHR.comSeptember 19, 2011A huge abstract artwork for the Jewish Holocaust victims. This is considered to be one of the most important memorials in the city. Located south of the Brandenburg Gate in Friedrichstadt.
- Just don't be an asshole and DON'T stand on the stones. Despite the playfull character, it's still a memorial, so show some respect.
- Samantha BronsteinJuly 26, 2017A beautiful monument conveying the confusion horror and mass of murder that went down in a way you can feel. Mostly wheelchair accessible just cobblestones .
- Fraser The MightyAugust 16, 2015Wonderful architecture and a very thoughtful place to spend some time.
- AndyMay 18, 2017a must visit in berlin - beautiful outdoor memorial and insightful museum (free entry)
- Michael HoldsworthApril 9, 2018Please don't jump around the stones or play hide and seek. It isn't a playground.
- Ali K.September 23, 2012THIS IS NOT A ROMANTIC DATE SPOT. so please refrain from making out on the stones. It's very disrespectful and you'll have to go through life knowing you're a douchebag.
- Dee ScaranoJanuary 8, 2014Visit the museum underneath. It's free. Allow about 1-1.5 hours. Be prepared for a quiet, somber, deep experience.
- Myriam SabollaMarch 22, 2015A must visit place with very profound meaning. Don't miss also the rom and sinti memorial nearby.
- Frank NeulichedlMay 30, 2015Visit the exposition downstairs and you will understand what the concrete squares symbolize.

- Hannah AlkadiDecember 30, 2020May this be a reminder for us to stand up against genocide and injustice anywhere.
- Andrea UsaiNovember 3, 2012If you're playing hide and seek here you definitely missed the point of this place.
- Dennis JanssenSeptember 9, 2016Very impressive monument. Walk through the "maze" and be amazed hoe quit it is in there. Feels very lonesome.
- Pavla BenetinováSeptember 5, 2018Especially in the evening it has a unique atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit.
