“Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe”
May 10: Inaugurated
19,000 square meter (4.7 acre) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs, arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field….
An attached underground “Place of Information” contains the names of all known Holocaust victims, (obtained from Yad Vashem in Jerusalem) located one block south of the Brandenburg Gate.
The program to conceptualize a memorial in Berlin commenced eleven years prior in April, 1994. Highly contentious saga.
