Berlin is full of reminders of the Holocaust, such as this very moving memorial, built where a Jewish old people's home used to be, a place used as a detention center for young and old about to be shipped to concentration camps.
Sometimes the reminder will be a small plaque on a building, telling you about what happened there or who lived there, or it might be a large poster mounted behind glass at a bus stop, such as the one near the Philharmonic, where concertgoers can see the face and read about the man who was one of Hitler's legion. Some are very recent markers, so I think you can say that this is an unfinished subject here.
