The Holocaust memorial by the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin Germany
The monument is located on the former location of the Berlin Wall, where the “death strip” once divided the city. The monument is composed of 2711 rectangular concrete blocks, laid out in a grid formation, the monument is organized into a rectangle-like array. There is long, straight, and narrow alleys between them, along which the ground undulates. During the war, the area acted as the administrative centre of Hitler's killing machine. His chancellery building, since demolished, was a few hundred yards away just to the south; his bunker lies beneath a nearby parking lot. The memorial is located near Berlin’s foreign embassies.
