This is displayed near the Field of Stelae. It Says: Europe Foundation Memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe.

We only found out about Yom Kippur when we saw this sign at the entrance to the Jewish Museum which we had planned on visiting. We walked to the next Underground Station, got off at Potsdamer Platz, took pictures and then walked on to the Field of Stelae.

The Jewish Museum. Quite a large building with immense extensions to the back of it.

    I found walking among those huge blocks a very emotional experience. And visited the Jewish museum with a friend who was very surprised to discover a photograph of herself in there! Nothing makes you feel so old as finding your photograph in a museum!

      Same here, Cat. Just publishing this post this morning was a very emotional experience for me. Thanks very much for commenting!
