Holocaust Memorial Berlin

Last September I revisited Berlin after 46 years. One of the reasons to come back was to visit the Memorial to the murdered Jews in Europe. I had read stories and seen photos, and I wondered how I would take photo’s of it. And what it would be like to wonder through it. This visit I had my first experience with the monument. Here is the first impression (and the coming days I will publish some more).

The Bahntower on the Potsdamer Platz, headoffice of the Deutsche Bahn.

Potsdamer Platz was the vivid heart of Berlin. During World War II, it was almost completely destroyed. Since 1961 Potsdamer Platz was a no man’s land, a death strip as part of the Berlin Wall. After the fall of Berlin Wall this was the biggest property developing area in a major city in Europe.

Brandenburger Gate (Brandenburger Tor) is a symbol of unity for Berlin and Germany. Nowadays the Pariser Platz (Paris Square) is a pedestrian and bicycle area.

Years ago I posted a long series titled ‘photographers framed while shooting’. This is another one in that genre, on the hottest day on record in The Netherlands.

The theme for Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #57 is ‘taking a break’. .
