Description: 
Exterior detail: looking down the narrow alleyways between slabs. Location: 200m south of the Brandenberg Gate. Erected in a grid on an undulating site. The slabs range in height from 20 cm to nearly 5m. The space between is not large enough to allow two people to walk abreast. Areas within the interior sections of the memorial are too high to look over.
