What would your interpretation be?

Even though its name is The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, the monument, by Jewish-American Peter Eisenman, is said to have many interpretations, which to date are all still debated. 

Among them, my favorite, the absorption of the Nazi Party in the 1930s to early 1940s. This interpretation explains that the squares on the ground, surrounding the actual piece, the stability and relative order of the nation. 

But as time progressed people got more involved with the socialist ideas, which is represented by the floor which starts to acquired a wave design as you go in and through the monument. This is the great instability that started to overwhelm Germany.

Moreover, as you walk through the monument a feeling of claustrophobia may take over you. This is due to the eventual growth of the blocks as you get to the center of the piece. This feeling may represent the feeling of Germany at its peak of the invasion.

Although, not nearly as intense, of course.

The middle of the piece may represent the only direction in which people where able to look in at this chaotic time, the sky. Or hope, most likely.

Finally once you go on through the monument it all turns back to the way it all was before the chaos started--flat ground and very low flat blocks--the present.

This is also known as the Holocaust Memorial.

The varying heights may also represent the diversity of people.
