Topography of TerrorLocated on the site where the principal instruments of Nazi persecution and terror were occured between 1933 and 1945: the headquarters of the Gestapo, the high command and security service of the SS, and from 1939 the Reich Security Main Office. The museum shed lights about these institutions and the crimes that were organised there. Photographs and documents illustrate the history from the time the Nazis took power until the end of the war.
Berlin Story BunkerHoused inside a 6,500-square-metre WWII bunker, the museum recreates the history of Berlin and some of the most infamous events in German history. The exhibition showcases the sequence of events leading up to Hitler's suicide in 1945, and it has a reconstruction of Hitler’s personal study.

The museum is well known for it's selection of the exhibitions it displays.

Consists of a 19,000-square-metre site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field.

While the regular exhibition of the museum about the history of Jewish religion and culture is well worth visiting we decided to see the special exhibition by Yael Bartana. This is a temporary exhibition by the Israeli artist whose videos and art is displayed all across the world. This exhibition is titled "Redemption now" and heavily consists of video work. We saw her earlier and seemingly connected work in Mumbai in 2017 and couldn't wait to see her Berlin based work titled "Malka Germania" (queen Germany). It is definitely worth visiting and gives you lots of themes to think about for weeks.

A bit disappointed that major parts of the museum were closed while we were there. The museum looks normal from the front but it actually is an architectural masterpiece. You will understand once you are inside. This is the largest Jewish Museum in Europe.
The "Garden of exile" with it's tilted foundation and 49 tall pillars is something to see and experience. Walking through it will make you disoriented and confused.
Similarly, the "Holocaust tower" will bring you to the world of loneliness and fear. This 24 meter tall empty concrere silo has no heating and cooling, and has only a small slit on the roof for light to come in.
