We were very fortunate today to get to visit some incredible sights in Berlin, but I would like to focus this entry on the memorial of the holocaust in the center of the city. What an incredible sight to see, what an incredible feeling and the location emphasize this even more. Such a grand memorial to take up such a large amount of space in a city as large and populated as Berlin was truly amazing to see. Although there was a debate about whether or the not memorial was positive or negative I am happy that they made the correct choice to build it. Something that is as beautiful and unique as it is cannot be ignored, and not being ignored means being recognized. I think that the memorial is a consistent reminder of the travesties that occurred but also of the progression of a nation that while having made a terrible mistake is moving forward without forgetting.
