What you'll see
A sloping field of 2,711 grey concrete blocks of different heights in a tight grid; the paths dip as you walk in, until the blocks tower over you. Under the south-east corner, an information centre tells the stories of individual families.

It opened in 2005, a block south of the Brandenburg Gate, after more than a decade of debate about how Germany should remember the murdered Jews of Europe.
