Quiet Monument, Walls Permeated by Light

In the heart of Berlin,
small concrete blocks stretch endlessly across a tranquil square.
The Holocaust Memorial —
standing there, all senses come to a silent halt.

The gray blocks are arranged in a regular pattern,
but the pathways between them tilt irregularly.
As you walk, the paths deepen,
and the light narrows, seeping into the shadows.

This architecture does not express sorrow.
Instead, it quietly reveals the 'absence of existence.'
A silent space where humanity confronts its own ethics.

Berlin teaches without words —
remembrance is not a statue, but a living consciousness.
Stepping out of the memorial and into the sunlight again,
the light feels warmer, more meaningful.

That is the true power of Berlin's architecture.
