18. Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas (Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe), which houses 2,711 concrete slabs and cost tens of millions to construct. It is one street away from the Brandenburger Tor, and we visited this memorial site during a free walking tour. Its significance is open to interpretation, but many have remarked the resemblance of the slabs to tombstones, to train-carts which transported many Jews to the concentration or extermination camps during the Second World War, and even to the camps themselves.
