RE: The Berlin Holocaust Memorial - Great Symbolism or Failed Design?

Good observation, that maybe this place should also commemorate all the other victims of the Holocaust. As a symbol, I do see it gives a huge effect, like when you walk among the tall concrete blocks that overwhelm you in size and also in that feeling of maybe getting lost. The almost unnoticeable ones on the edges... yes, that's how we humans usually notice the other people's sufferings. To understand it fully we have to walk with their pain. Loved this post that gives as a good food for thought. Thanks @stortebeker 😌

I know! What about all the other victims? But as I remember as the debate just kept dragging on and on, I got so tired of being interested in it long before the memorial was even built. So in my mind the site is less about the Jewish Holocaust during the Third Reich in specific, and more about becoming victim to the state terror in general. But that's only me.
