  • In the early morning of 19 June 2013 Michelle Obama visited, accompanied by her two daughters Malia (14) and Sasha (12 years) and Auma Obama, half-sister of Barack Obama, the Field of Stelae of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.

Uwe Neumärker, director of the Foundation, greeted the president’s wife and their children right at the edge of the Memorial on Ebert Straße and led the family through the Field of Stelae. The nearly 30-minute guided tour through the Memorial, designed by the American architect Peter Eisenman, was characterized by an intensive discussion.

The private visit of the Holocaust Memorial was for Michelle Obama and her family the beginning of a sightseeing tour through the German capital. Besides the Berlin Wall the Reichstag building was also part of the program.
