Berlin - Photos of the Topography of Terror




Far left: Grey coffins row at Jewish memorial.


Left: Jole at the top of the Reichstag dome, overlooking Berlin.


Below: outside musuem of the Topography of Terror. Behind the posters is a portion of the Berlin Wall.






This area housed the German building that the Nazi's used to plan and carry out the expulsion of the Jews, in Berlin and coming from all over Europe.
There is also a museum, to the left of the photo, that further explains the actions of the Nazi's and how they systematically rounded up and sent the Jews away to concentration camps.
The photo of the Jewish memorial is hard to explain. The city block is full of the concrete coffins, representing the six million Jews that were killed. This walkway is only one of the narrow paths through the rows of coffins. People can walk through this, I guess to feel the magnitude of how large this exhibit is, and there are only 2000 coffins.
