Thousands of bullet-gray concrete blocks rise crookedly from the earth like fresh gravestones along what was once barren no man's land surrounding the Berlin Wall. Deep underground is the wartime bunker built for Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister. The site of the razed Reich Chancellery, where Adolf Hitler plotted the extermination of the Jews, is about 100 yards away.
On Tuesday, 60 years after the end of World War II in Europe, Berlin officials will unveil a monument to the Holocaust, in which 6 million European Jews were killed, in the center of the German capital.
>In typical Jewish fashion, all I'm worried about is that that the memorial, being outdoors, becomes some kind of focal point for neo-Nazi rallys.
