I have posted this before but I thought it was worth repeating. As you may know today is Holocaust Memorial Day, which is the time for everyone to remember the millions of people murdered in the Holocaust, under Nazi Persecution, and in the genocides which followed such as in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.

During my brief trip to Berlin in April 2018 I visited the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe which was designed by architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold. It consists of a 19,000-square-metre site covered with 2711 concrete slabs arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field.

It is a very moving memorial and I always feel it is important that the Holocaust should never be forgotten and remembered by future generations.

The first three pictures in this slideshow are of the unassuming car park under which Hitler met his end in the bunker underneath that area. Again it is important to remember its significance and never forget the horrors that his regime spawned.

Having said that I previously visited the German capital in 2015 on a stag weekend and we were staying around a hundred yards from the installation but we never realised it was there as we were concentrating on different priorities eh? And we were also staying just around the corner from the unassuming car park but we knew that was there.
