The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a 19,000 square metre (4.7 acre) site in central Berlin covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae" arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field. This is designed to create an unsettling atmosphere, a sense of a system that appears orderly but has lost touch with human reason. It is described as "A place of contemplation, a place of remembrance and warning."
