Brrr....

Two days in my country and prime interest is the wall and concentration camps. Fortunately they were "closed" in 1945 and 1990, so 67 and 22 years ago. This feels a bit as if the places of prime interest of a visitor to the US were the places of masacers against native Americans and the slave market in Atlanta. We are far in the 21st century and Berlin is a great place to be. Pls. do not only concentrate on the ugly past.
