Thought this was interesting. the DDR is the acronym for the government of East Germany. Americans might know it better as the GDR.

Wanted to show that really, the Berlin Wall was 2 walls, seperated in the middle by a no-mans land.

Another piece of the wall. People used to be able to take pieces off of this section but now it is forbidden.

The very moving Monument to the Murdered Jews of the Holocaust

From the outside, it appears that these concrete blocks, called spiele, are around the same height, but when walking through the monument the ground elevation changes and they alter in heights very much.

Underneath this monument is a very intense Holocaust Memorial museum with audio of persecuted Jews' personal accounts of the Holocaust.
