It certainly is, especially considering it is located on the site of Gestapo HQ on Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse. I swear you still hear the screams of the prisoners being "interrogated" in the basement at that location.

Another sobering monument in Berlin is located at the Grunewald Train Station Track 17 which was one of the major sites for the deportation of Berlin's Jews. There are metal plaques marked with the destination and number of Jews on each weekly transport to the Final Solution. Even as late as Feb 1945 the deportations continued though the Nazis were hard pressed to find many more Jews left in Berlin.
