The holocaust museum in Berlin resides underground and the atmosphere is rather strange compared to a exhibiting gallery. The passages through the museums lead you on a journey of emphemera photographs and personal accounts on the events that unfolded over war.
The contrast between the modern minimalistic building and historical events is quite cold and eerie. Without natural sunlight a uncomfortable silence and loneliness ressonates throughout the entire visit. The effect of the location takes you away from the touristy busy streets of sunny Berlin and works to engross the audience into a serious and tragic piece of history.
