The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe also known as the Holocaust Memorial is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, It consists of a 19,000 square meter (4.7 acre) site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field. According to Eisenman's project text, the slabs are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason.
