Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
Holocaust-Memorial
by Yi Jiang

It is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, designed by architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold. It consists of a 19,000 m2 (4.7-acre) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field..

According to Eisenman's project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason.

Memoriale per gli ebrei assassinati d'Europa (Berlino)

Una piazza...monoliti di cemento...persone che entrano nella piazza e si perdono alla vista... Forse uno dei più bei monumenti che abbia mai visto, ottima rappresentazione della tragedia umana subita da tanti ebrei durante le persecuzioni, tanti appunto a perdita di vista così come si perdono le persone che vi entrano...sembrano sparire in un silenzio interrotto ogni tanto da qualche voce e presenza fugace. Se andate a Berlino vi consiglio di visitarlo e cercare di coglierne i significati reconditi ben descritti da sensazioni realmente vivibili.

In 1999, after lengthy debates, the German parliament decided to establish a central memorial site, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The competition to design it was won by the New York architect Peter Eisenman. The memorial was ceremonially opened in 2005.
