O polêmico memorial dos judeus mortos na Europa, em Berlim.

O Memorial aos Judeus Mortos da Europa (em alemão: Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas), também conhecido por Memorial do Holocausto (alemão: Holocaust-Mahnmal), é um memorial em Berlim para vítimas judias do Holocausto, projetado pelo arquiteto Peter Eisenman e engenheiros do Buro Happold. Consiste de uma área de 19.000 metros quadrados (4,7 acres) coberta com 2.711 blocos de concreto ou "stelae", parecendo com um campo ondulado de pedras. Os blocos são de 2,38m (7,8') de comprimento por 0,95m (3' 1,5") de largura e altura variada desde 0,2m até 4,8m (de 8" a 15'9"). De acordo com o texto do projeto de Eisenman, os blocos são desenhados para produzir uma intranqüilidade, um clima de confusão e a escultura toda ajuda a representar um sistema supostamente ordenado e que perdeu o contato com a razão humana. Uma cópia de 2005 de um panfleto turístico oficial inglês da Fundação para o Memorial, porém, afirma que o projeto representa uma aproximação radical ao conceito tradicional de um memorial, em parte porque Eisenman não usou nenhum simbolismo. Um anexo subterrâneo "Local de Informação" (em alemão: Ort der Information) guarda os nomes de todas as vítimas judias conhecidas do Holocausto, conseguidos através do museu israelense Yad Vashem.

A construção do memorial teve início em 1 de abril de 2003 e foi concluída em 15 de dezembro de 2004. Foi inaugurado em 10 de maio de 2005e aberto ao público em 12 de maio do mesmo ano. Está localizado a uma quadra ao sul do Portão de Brandemburgo, perto da Potsdamer Platz, numa distância que pode ser vista do parlamento federal alemão. O custo da construção foi aproximadamente de €25 milhões.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe (German: Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas), also known as the Holocaust Memorial (German: Holocaust-Mahnmal), is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, designed by architect Peter Eisenman and engineer Buro Happold. It consists of a 19,000 square meter (4.7 acre) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", one for each page of the Talmud arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field. The stelae are 2.38m (7.8') long, 0.95m (3' 1.5") wide and vary in height from 0.2 m to 4.8m (8" to 15'9"). According to Eisenman's project text, the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason. A 2005 copy of the Foundation for the Memorial's official English tourist pamphlet, however, states that the design represents a radical approach to the traditional concept of a memorial, partly because Eisenman did not use any symbolism. An attached underground "Place of Information" (German: Ort der Information) holds the names of all known Jewish Holocaust victims, obtained from the Israeli museum Yad Vashem.

Building began on April 1, 2003 and was finished on December 15, 2004. It was inaugurated on May 10, 2005, sixty years after the end of World War II, and opened to the public on May 12 of the same year. It is located one block south of the Brandenburg Gate, in the Friedrichstadt neighborhood. The cost of construction was approximately €25 million.

The memorial is controversial, and was described by Ignatz Bubis, the then leader of the German Jewish community, as unnecessary.
