A Monument to the Porajmos: Sinti and Roma Holocaust Victims Remembered in Berlin

The memorial in Tiergarten to the some 500,000 Sinti and Roma murdered by the Nazis in the Porajmos -- the Romani Holocaust.
From the memorial you can see the Reichstag and it's just near Brandenburger Tor.
"It is a German and a European task to support (Sinti and Roma) wherever they live, no matter what country" (Angela Merkel - German Chancellor).

This memorial is bigger and more central of the previous one, made in Marzahn (dedicated to the memory of the Sinti Camp - originally called the "Zigeuner-Lager" or "Gypsy Camp"- that the Nazis had built in the area).
