Daniel Libeskind's zinc-clad edifice in Kreuzberg houses the Jewish Museum, evoking a broken Star of David. Tunnels lead to the bare concrete Holocaust Tower, Menashe Kadishman's Shalechet void filled with 10,000 iron faces, and a heart-rending exhibition mapping German-Jewish history.
Other powerful elements include a difficult climb to a "garden of exile" and a dead-end corridor leading to the Holocaust Tower, an unheated space of bare concrete.
The permanent exhibition tells Jewish-German history in chapters, with exhibits ranging from visual to audio material and films.
