Cracks mar Berlin Holocaust memorial anniversary
BERLIN — Germany’s Holocaust memorial, a solemn maze of concrete grey slabs in central Berlin commemorating the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis, split public opinion when it was erected five years ago. But now, ahead of next month’s anniversary, the splits are all too real as a viciously cold winter, inferior building materials and possible building flaws have resulted in cracks in more than two-thirds of the 2,711 columns. “Can the Holocaust memorial still be saved?” asked mass circulation Bild.
