Remembrance

As one can imagine the scars of Nazi Germany are felt in sites around Berlin. I was moved by the Holocaust Memorial as its ambiguity left the viewer to look for their own meaning in the structures. Possibility a memorial of reflection rather than a display of facts.


I spent some time walking through the never-ending corridors of the memorial and as one can imagine a sense of anguish came over me. How can humans do this to eachother? Why do we still let this genocides take place around the world, some hidden by catchy terms like War on Terror?
