The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also known as the Holocaust Memorial, is a memorial in Berlin to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, designed by architect Peter Eisenman. It consists 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", arranged in a grid pattern, with cobbled walkways between them.

Eisenman himself wrote that the stelae are designed to produce an uneasy, confusing atmosphere, and the whole sculpture seeks to represent an ordered system that has lost touch with human reason.  The monument has been controversial, with some people feeling it is too impersonal (it has no inscriptions of victims' names, for instance), and others being critical that it only commemorates Jewish victims of Nazi persecution and not others.  In its first year, swastikas (Nazi symbols) were painted on the stelae on five occasions.
