The Memorial of the murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin was designed by architect Peter Eisenman. The Holocaust Memorial is Germany’s central Holocaust memorial site. It is a place for remembrance and commemoration of six million Jews murdered by the Nazis. The Memorial opened in May 2005, after ten years of construction and controversial public discussion.

The Information Centre is open from April to September from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (last entrance 7.15 p.m.). From October to March the Center can be visited from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (last entrance 6.15 p.m.). The Information Centre is closed on Mondays except statutory holidays.

The Empty Library Memorial Bebelplatz
Bebelplatz
10117 Berlin
Public transport: U6 Friedrichstraße and Französische Straße are the closest subway stations; the Bebelplatz is located on the street Unter den Linden.

The Empty Library Memorial is located at the spot where the book burning took place on May 10th 1933. About 20.000 books were thrown into the flames by national-socialist students. The books were written by more than 400 different Jewish and Non-Jewish authors who were considered to be “un-German”. Despite numerous protests of Berlin citizens against a commercial use of the Bebelplatz, an underground parking lot was finally contracted under the place. The Empty Library Memorial, a white room with empty book shelves, which is visible only via a glass plate in the middle of the Bebelplatz, is surrounded by that parking lot.
