THE WALL
Taken: Mar 9, 2011
While most of the Berlin Wall was destroyed, this small piece of it was chosen to have artists paint murals on it. Its called the East Side Gallery
Probably my favorite section of the wall
Thought this was interesting. the DDR is the acronym for the government of East Germany. Americans might know it better as the GDR.
Thought this was funny
Wanted to show that really, the Berlin Wall was 2 walls, seperated in the middle by a no-mans land.
The famous picture of the two Soviet officials kissing
Caught this in a milisecond on the bus. The famous picture of the sign near Checkpoint Charlie saying "You are now entering the American sector".
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.
These were probably around 12 feet high. The monument is designed to make one feel very uncomfortable and conquered over
Underneath this monument is a very intense Holocaust Memorial museum with audio of persecuted Jews' personal accounts of the Holocaust.
