Little bit of history from Berlin


Recently I was in Berlin where I visited the Mauermuseum  near the famous "Checkpoint Charlie", as one of the main symbols of the Cold War era. The museum, with its wall remains, represents both Berlin's and global history, especially when it comes to military aspects and history of ideas. The museum also covers the history of NATO and can be seen as a place influenced by ideas of militarism, transatlanticism, westernism and also of democracy, communism and liberalism. When you are in Berlin, go for a visit.

Symbolism, regarding people who fled from East Berlin to West Berlin before the wall was established.

Humans are extra creative when it comes to escaping away from desperate situations.
