Its commemorative value aside, the monument is fugly. I at first thought it was a staging area for building materials, or an incomplete foundatio for some huge building. Even the temporary signs placed in front of it were nondescriptive.
Incidentally, it has been placed very close to the site of Hitler's Reich Chancellory.
I know what you mean but at least something in terms of a memorial has finally been placed, yes very close to the location where Nazi Germany hatched their worst evils.
