So easy to miss but really impactfull nonetheless. Peek into the ground in the middle of the square and see rows and rows of empty bookshelves to represent all books burnt by the Nazi bookburning
Impressive and sad and beautiful.
Come back at night
We had a hard time finding it but the event it marks is so terrible the search is worthwhile. Take a moment to stand here. Learn.
Go at night to see it being lit up for a more haunting impression
Schauriges Gefühl....
