Memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe

Since its inauguration in 2005, millions of people have visited the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin. Whereas numerous books have already been written about the Field of Stelae, this book is a unique publication. For the first time ever, it presents comprehensive information about the permanent exhibition housed in the subterranean Information Centre and offers behind the scenes insight into the research and eventual creation of the exhibition. With the personal fates of victims and the geographical dimension of the Holocaust as its centre of focus, the permanent exhibition documents the persecution and extermination of European Jews as well as the historical sites of these crimes. In addition, an overview is provided of the highly diverse offer of educational programmes, events and archives which the Information Centre offers complementary to the permanent exhibition, such as the testimonies preserved in the Video Archive or the diverse databases with information on the individual victims and the numerous memorial sites currently found throughout Europe.
