This monument stands in memory of the Sinti and Roma who were persecuted in much the same way Jews were by the Nazis. The memorial is an enclosed area within Tiergarten with a large circular pool with a triangular stone plaque, in reference similar badges that had to be worn by concentration camp prisoners. Around the pool are paving stones, some of which have names of concentration camps carved into them. The walls of the memorial describe in painful detail about the persecution of Sinti and Roma. Visit this to remind ourselves just how cruel people can be and how not to allow these things to happen again.

Ein Ort an dem die ganzen Holocaust-Leugner endlich mal den Mund halten. Liebe Mitbürger der Sinti und Roma, Deutschland steht in Ihrer Schuld.

This memorial is located near the east end of Tiergarten, between Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag. It is a simple and solemn tribute to the Sinti and Roma who were labeled as 'gypsies' and murdered under rule of the National Socialist Regime between 1933-1945. Created by Israeli sculptor, Dani Karavan, the memorial consists of a small reflection pool and a retractable stone. A new flower that is placed on the stone daily. Surrounding the pool are various shaped flat stone surface, some slabs include names. The walls which surround this monument include historical accounts of the the atrocities committed to the Sinti and Roma. The text is provided in English and German and helps put this particular memorial into context. It is well worth spending the few minutes required to read before entering the Memorial to the SInti and Roma Murdered under the National Socialist Regime.

(Translated by Google) Can you give a star to a monument of this kind? No, because it's not an ugly place. Can you give five stars to a monument of this kind? Not really, because it is not a beautiful, exciting, spectacular place. But it doesn't have to be either. But it is an important place that should and must remind us again and again of injustices of inconceivable proportions and crimes against humanity. There are five stars for this. (Original) Kann man einem Denkmal dieser Art einen Stern geben? Nein, denn es ist kein häßlicher Ort. Kann man einem Denkmal dieser Art fünf Sterne geben? Eigentlich nicht, denn es ist kein schöner, spannender, spektakulärer Ort. Muss er aber auch nicht sein. Aber es ist ein wichtiger Ort, der uns immer wieder an Unrecht unfassbaren Ausmaßes und an Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit erinnern soll und muss. Dafür gibt es fünf Sterne.

Not too many people know about the genocide and the persecution of the Gypsies before and during the second World war. Hopefully this place will help remind the humanity about this tragedy.

It was the most affecting point for me in Berlin. It is really sad place and it gives you undescribable feelings mostly sadness. I found this point by chance while leaving the Bundestag. Maybe you pass by and remember those lost poor souls.

Very small and quiet memorial. The etched glass panels in German and English detailing the plight the Gypsies faced leading up to and during WWII is well done. A touching memorial that serves both to remember and to educate.

A beautiful park with lots of history. Very emotional stories you can read here. Free of charge to see the place and see the monument. Cannot pass by and not stop to read all of this. I got really emotional reading all this information. I guess you will too. Also around this area you will find lots of Historical Places. Make sure to visit them all. You won't regret it.

This place is full of silence

This is a must visit memorial. A place of sorrow and reflection. The design, the surrounding and the music is so beautiful and haunting at the same time. Make sure to trace and read the verses written under the water at the perimeter of the round pond.

I'm glad we saw this memorial. It's not a very well known spot on Berlin's map, however I would recommend to stop there. Once you step in, it takes you to a different place, a peaceful, maditative and beautiful memorial.

(Translated by Google) This monument made a much more impressive impression than the monument with concrete blocks for the six million gassed Jews. (Original) Dit monument maakte veel meer indruk dan het monument met betonnen blokken voor de zes miljoen vergaste joden.

(Translated by Google) A very memorable place (Original) Ein sehr denkwürdiger Ort

(Translated by Google) We had trouble finding it but nice place walking around the park (Original) Nos costó encontrarlo pero bonito lugar recorriendo todo el parque

It’s a memorial for Santi and Roma’s 500,000 people who been murdered. German history of full of darkness but at least it’s not about holocaust. It’s located in garden between Brandenburg Gate and Reichstag building.

Beautiful memorial of a lesser-known tragedy. Historical facts written on the entrance walls are a good source of information before going in. Don't forget to look at the ground where all "gypsies" internment camps are engraved in stones.

This is one of the most important and well made memorials I have seen. The design is simple yet very moving. And besides that there is plenty of information displayed at the place, so we can all educate ourselves about the history and the struggles of the sinti and roma people in Europe.

Ich finde den Gedanken hinter dem Denkmal echt schön. Außerdem habe ich mich wirklich sehr gefreut, dass dieser Ort den Respekt zu bekommen scheint, den er verdient. Gut gepflegt.

So sad to see a memorial like this but in a strange way nice to see their memory honoured

A place of sorrow and meditation. The music impacts you.

Very memorable memorial, just across from the Parliament.

A quiet and dignified memorial place

One can have a look at this fountain in shape of a circle with a triangle in the middle here.

A low key memorial to a race persecuted by the Nazis but whose story is dwarfed by what happened to the Jews...read the story boards! The site and particularly the water needs some TLC though

Nice idea. Piece of story. In the end it's pretty fountain for the birds, but anyway looks impresing.

well organized and must visit.

Nice place for visiting... Close to Bredenburg gate.. I recommend this place for tourist visits.

(Translated by Google) A very important place for reflection. A memorial was erected here for the Sinti and Roma who perished in Porjamos. On the outside it is described and explained in German, English and Romanes. (Original) Ein sehr wichtiger Ort der Besinnung. Hier wurde ein Mahnmal für die im Porjamos umgekommenen Sinti und Roma errichtet. An der Ausenfläche wird es in Deutsch, Englisch und Romanes beschrieben und erklärt.

Well made with ambience music and descriptive texts in English and German. So important for us to remember, so this never happens again.

(Translated by Google) Close to Scheidemannstrasse, within sight of the Reichstag and already in the Tiergarten area, a place of reflection and tranquility has been created, delimited by large plaques. The first thing you see is the large round pond with the stone slab in the middle of the pool. A fresh flower is constantly lying on this and the plate is lowered into a room under the basin to place a fresh flower on it. A very successful idea to show that the injustice that was done to the Sinti and Roma under National Socialism always remains topical in our minds and never fades and is forgotten. On the one hand, it is oppressive to stand by the water and listen to the soft violin music that comes from the background. On the other hand, this mood spends me in memory of how it is possible what people can do to other people. I am also grateful for the explanatory facts that can be found on the tablets. For me, a very successful memorial in contrast to the memorial for the murdered Jews, to which I unfortunately can hardly access due to its confusing size. (Original) Nahe der Scheidemannstrasse, in Sichtweite des Reichstages und schon im Tiergarten-Gelände ist, abgegrenzt durch große Schrifttafeln, ein Ort der Besinnung und der Ruhe entstanden. Man sieht als erstes den großen runden Teich mit der steinernden Platte in der Mitte des Beckens. Auf dieser liegt ständig eine frische Blume und die Platte wird in einen Raum unter dem Becken heruntergelassen um eine frische Blume aufzulegen. Eine sehr gelungene Idee um zu zeigen, dass das Unrecht, das den Sinti und Roma im Nationalsozialismus angetan wurde, immer aktuell in unseren Köpfen bleibt und nie verwelkt und in Vergessenheit gerät. Es ist einerseits beklemmend an dem Wasser zu stehen und die leise Geigenmusik zu hören, die aus dem Hintergrund erschallt. Andererseits verbringt mich diese Stimmung in ein Gedenken daran wie es möglich ist, was Menschen anderen Mitmenschen antun können. Dankbar bin ich auch für die aufklärenden Fakten, die man aus den Schrifttafeln entnehmen kann. Für mich ein sehr gelungenes Mahnmal im Gegensatz zu dem Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden, zu dem ich schon wegen seiner unübersichtlichen Größe leider kaum Zugang finde.

(Translated by Google) The monument was inaugurated in October 2012 after nearly 20 years of planning. Designed by Israeli artist Dani Karavan. In a circular 12-meter-long black pool with a black background in the middle of the pool, the artist placed a triangular stone column, which, from above, resembles the clothes of prisoners in the concentration camp. There is always a fresh flower in the column and each time the flower withers, the stone sinks into a pool below and a new flower is placed on the stone which then rises to the original location of the pool. The monument to Sinti and the Roma of Europe who were murdered under Nazism reminds of the 500,000 people who were persecuted and murdered as "gypsies" in Germany and other European countries between 1933 and 1945 under Nazi rule. Most of them are self-named Sinti, Roma, Lalleri, Lowara or Manusch. The biggest teams in Europe were the Cindy and the Roma. (Original) Το μνημείο εγκαινιάστηκε τον Οκτώβριο του 2012 μετά από περίπου 20 χρόνια σχεδιασμού. Σχεδιάστηκε από τον Ισραηλινό καλλιτέχνη Dani Karavan. Σε μια κυκλική πισίνα νερού διαμέτρου 12 μέτρων με μαύρο φόντο, στη μέση της πισίνας, ο καλλιτέχνης τοποθέτησε μια τριγωνική πέτρινη στήλη, η οποία, από ψηλά, θυμίζει τα ρούχα των φυλακισμένων στο στρατόπεδο συγκέντρωσης. Υπάρχει πάντα ένα φρέσκο ​​λουλούδι στη στήλη και κάθε φορά που ρο λουλούδι μαραίνεται, η πέτρα βυθίζεται σε ένα χώρο κάτω από την πισίνα και ένα νέο λουλούδι τοποθετείται πάνω στην πέτρα η οποία στην συνέχεια ανεβαίνει στην αρχική τοποθεσία της πισίνας. Το μνημείο του Sinti και των Ρομά της Ευρώπης που δολοφονήθηκαν υπό τον Ναζισμό θυμίζει τους 500.000 ανθρώπων που διώχθηκαν και δολοφονήθηκαν ως «τσιγγάνοι» στη Γερμανία και σε άλλες ευρωπαϊκές χώρες μεταξύ του 1933 και του 1945 υπό την κυριαρχία Ναζισμού. Οι περισσότεροι από αυτούς αυτό-ονομάζονται Sinti, Roma, Lalleri, Lowara ή Manusch. Οι μεγαλύτερες ομάδες στην Ευρώπη ήταν οι Σίντι και οι Ρομά.

(Translated by Google) Basically, I find the monument structurally very successful. The reminder that the Sinti and Roma were also subjected to special group persecution by the National Socialists. The awareness of the necessity and the implementation have taken long enough. I also find the idea with the flower a success. However, only long-term operation will show whether the technology passes the sustainability test. (Original) Grundsätzlich finde ich das Denkmal baulich durchaus gelungen. Die Erinnerung daran, dass auch die Sinti und Roma einer besonderen Gruppenverfolgung durch die Nationalsozialisten unterworfen waren. Die Erkenntnis der Notwendigkeit und die Umsetzung haben ja lange genug gedauert. Auch die Idee mit der Blume finde ich gelungen. Allerdings wird erst der Langzeitbetrieb zeigen, ob die Technik den Nachhaltigkeitstest besteht.

(Translated by Google) I cannot rate these places with stars; with a bowed head and awe you enter a memorial ... (Original) Diese Orte kann ich nicht mit Sternen bewerten.Mit geneigten Kopf und Ehrfurcht betritt man Mahnmal...

(Translated by Google) A stop in the small square is recommended to be able to admire the Brandenburg Gate and the parliament at the same time. (Original) Consigliata una sosta nella piccola piazza per poter ammirare contemporaneamente la porta di Brandeburgo e il parlamento.

(Translated by Google) Poignant place by its meaning and the explanations given. The basin surrounded by stones on which all the names of concentration camps are noted is upsetting.
