The information center underneath the ground displays photographs, texts, and data. It looks at the Nazi extermination policies and records of the Jewish people. The exhibit portrays the history of the Jews as well. By tracing the time before and after their persecution, it shows some of the views of history brought about by the affair.

Now, there is one question here. Is the Memorial dedicated only for Jews? During the Holocaust period the Jews were not the only victims. The Sinti and Roma, homosexuals and political criminals were also killed. Actually, the German federal council has already decided to construct memorials for them in different ways. The important fact here is to recognize the historical responsibility of the Germany that committed the crime of nearly wiping out the entire European Jewish population. Understanding other aspects of history will be accomplished in different ways.

The Memorial is located in the center of Berlin. In the neighborhood, there are many tourism spots, such as the Brandenburg Gate, Hotel Adlon and the Reichstag Parliament Building. It also neighbors embassies of many countries, cultural facilities, offices, residences, and the Park of Tiergarten. This shows that the Memorial is open for the society. Not only Germans but also many tourists will visit here in the near future, and it will be one of the most important historical heritages in the world.
