For the Germans, this monument is a kind of rethinking of their history, and for the relatives and friends of the victims, the memory of their loved ones, which is frozen in these concrete slabs of different size. Psychologist Colleen Ellard, describes the peculiarity of the impact of the architecture of the complex on the visitor:
“The feeling of being lost among the gray slabs, behind which the outside world is not visible, the forced separation from a loved one and the feeling of insecurity that arose at the intersection of through corridors - raised waves of fear, anxiety, longing and loneliness in my soul. The psychological effect is achieved through bodily influence on the visitor. You have to become a part of the installation, go through it, get lost in it - only then will someone else's horror and someone else's grief become tangible and overwhelming. "
The architect of the complex, Peter Eisenman, managed to create such a simple, but at the same time complex structure, which is filled with terrible human grief.
