Trata-se da descrição do monumento às vítimas do nazismo concebido por Peter Eisemann.

The monument was placed near the Bundestag, the Tiergarten and Brandenburger Tor, a very central area of Berlin. There lays 2711 stele of different heights that are located next to each other, and have a small space between them, enough for a person to circulate there. This establishment offers a journey without beginnings or endings, where visitors get lost between high and crippling wakes. This overwhelming experience creates an atmosphere where nothing is stable, which transmits a warning message. No inputs, outputs or a suggested route: the memorial is presented as an open space that promotes the visit of all those transiting the area. This openness has as counterpart a sense of closure: who is placed at its center, can lose sight of the exterior, since according to the perspective you have, the stele can become the only visible.
