The first one of these is from the Berlin war memorial. It's the only thing in the building. It's a women holding her dead son who was a soldier. The original is only 6 inches tall. The next four are photos of the Jewish memorial made by an architect from New York. It consists of 2711 blocks rectangular in shape. Each block is a different height and put into the ground at a different angle. They represent the 6 million Jews killed by Hitler. Our tour group walked through it on a diagonal from one corner to the next. It was pretty amazing. In the middle it slopes down into the ground so that the columns are very tall. You only see in one direction and can't see what's around the corner. Makes you fell like your underground and getting closed in. It was a weird felling. Some people are pissed about this memorial, but I think it's great because it's interactive. Maybe that will be all for the depressing shots.
