Between the Potsdam and the Brandenberg Gate lies the new Holocaust Memorial site, dedicated to the 6 million Jews murdered during WWII. The controversial site was conceived by US architect Peter Eisenman, using 2,711 granite blocks covering a 19,000 sqm space. The blocks form an undulating surface across the area with narrow walkways between. There is a visitor centre beneath the memorial that displays the names of victims with readings in both English and German. Centre open Tue-Sun 10am-10pm, closed Mon, NYE, NYD, CE, CD, BD.
