Adventure #9: [Berlin] Jewish Museum and Holocaust Memorial

We were able to visit the Jewish Museum in Berlin. It was an eye opening experience because the building was built to make you feel uncomfortable. The walls did not come to a 90degree angle and the ceiling began to come closer to the ground as you walked through. There was an exhibit that you could walk on if you wanted to. It was representing 10,000 Jewish lives that were lost during the Holocaust. Even though it did not look like artwork it is what the artist wanted. The Pictures above are of that exhibit. 
I found the museum to be extremely interesting with all the artifacts there were at each exhibit. 

The picture at the left is a memorial to all the murdered Jews of the Holocaust. Each stone is a different size and length to simulate the chaos of the Holocaust.
