-Includes an underground information center
-The slabs are mostly rectangular in appearance and the site is completely gray with gaps between them
-The stelae were intentionally left blank so visitors can interpret the stie whatever way they choose]]> 2021-12-09 02:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937258397 topolewskij19 https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937259504 -36 foot wall with sculpture of the men, women, and children who fought back in the uprising
-Made partially of bronze and stone imported by Nazi Minister of Armaments Albert Speer
-Located in part of what was formerly the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw, Poland near the POLIN Museum
-This is also where the first armed fight of the uprising occurred
-There are no gaps, which led to my interpretation that this monument is meant to show unity amongst those fighting for their freedom]]> 2021-12-09 02:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937259504 topolewskij19 https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937260501 -Berlin had one of the highest Jewish populations in Europe after World War II
-The site of the memorial is where part of the Berlin Wall and its so called “death strip” were once located
-This area was also essentially the headquarters of Hitler’s command, as it is close to the Reichstag, Chancellery Building, and the Fuhrer Bunker 
-The memorial took 17 years to be approved]]> 2021-12-09 02:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937260501 topolewskij19 https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937260753 -This monument commemorates The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, an armed insurrection in 1943 
-An SS Commander ordered the ghetto to be burnt block by block but the remaining Jews who had not yet been deported to the Treblinka Concentration Camp refused to surrender to him 
-Ended in the deaths of many, the razing of the ghetto, and the erection of the Warsaw Concentration Camp]]> 2021-12-09 02:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937260753 topolewskij19 https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937261377 -The underground information center that consists of various rooms such as the Room of Families, Room of Names, and Room of Sites
-These rooms list 3,000 names of those that lost their lives to the Holocaust and the sites where they happened 
-With the stelae being blank and including gaps, to me it represents the surviving Holocaust victims and the void left behind by those who did not make it
-While I believe it is effective, some feel that it is inadequate, "resembles a graveyard", and should have had names on the stelae]]> 2021-12-09 02:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937261377 topolewskij19 https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937261889 -The sculpture shows the men, women, and children who participated in the uprising, with each chracter being armed with a gun or Molotov cocktail
-There is also a sign that says "Jewish nation to its fighters and martyrs"
-The architect stated that the wall was meant to symbolize the walls around the ghetto, but also the Western Wall in Jerusalem
-Reception has mostly been positive, with the, at the time, West German chancellor Willy Brandt kneeling at the foot of the monument as an act of penance in 1970]]> 2021-12-09 02:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937261889 topolewskij19 https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937264335 2021-12-09 02:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937264335 topolewskij19 https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937265704 2021-12-09 02:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937265704 topolewskij19 https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937399547 2021-12-09 04:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937399547 topolewskij19 https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937401859 2021-12-09 04:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/topolewskij19/9y1qi1bcl2lp1h82/wish/1937401859
