On May 10 1933 students from 34 University Towns around Germany burned an estimated 20.000 books. This exhibit in the ground of the Bebelplatz depicts the empty library shelves left behind. There is a plaque next to the exhibit with a quote from 1820 that says "That was only a prelude, there where they burn books, they burn in the end people":
Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, in the words of the Architect, "The stelae 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. The enormity and scale of the horror of the Holocaust is such that any attempt to represent it by traditional means is inevitably inadequate ... Our memorial attempts to present a new idea of memory as distinct from nostalgia ... We can only know the past today through a manifestation in the present."

The East Side Gallery (longest open air gallery in the world), "The East Side Gallery is a special place, where art has become the expression for a unique point in time of the history of a separated Germany. It is a meeting point that talks about an old Berlin and a new Berlin, a separated and a unified Germany."
