An expansive and unusual memorial dedicated to the 6 million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust, the monument was designed by American architect Peter Eisenman. The stunning place of remembrance consists of a grid of more than 2,700 concrete stelae, planted into undulating ground. The abstract memorial can be entered from all sides and offers no prescribed path. It's requested that you do not stand on any of the stelae, though you may sit on the lower ones. An information center that goes into specifics about the Holocaust lies underground at the southeast corner.
