I am sorry if I offended you (I don't know if you are German), but when people get called a plague of locusts they tend to lash back. And no, I still can't imagine that the decision to demolish this museum just "happened" to fall on July 4. It is simply too much of a coincidence.

Insult? I found it insulting that no where in the museum was there a mention of President Reagen. Hey, I guess I am overestimating the importance of his work in bringing down the wall.

That I can't disagree with but is it their option.

When I was in USAFE back in the late eighties I visited West Berlin a few times (it was a blast!), but only went through Checkpoint Charlie once. Very sobering, and we didn't spend much time in East Berlin before getting the urge to head back to the western side of the city.
One thing I remember is that we had to be in uniform to "tour" East Berlin, and everyone we encountered pointedly ignored us. About a year after that, the Wall came down. I wish I could've been there for THAT! But I was already stateside by then.
The museum should stay to remind everyone of the evil that was the communist bloc; I saw it with my own eyes, and it was chilling.

I'm pretty sure the Stasi archives have a photo of my buttocks stashed away.
I got in trouble at Checkpoint Charlie too. Carrying too much crap back from the East.
Ah, those were the days.

Must get rid of history. Must only look forward. History/ reality can be such a bummer. Plus, if they get rid of the history, it'll make it easier for them to repeat it. Looks like that's what they want to do.

If they get rid of their perceived Disneyland they will replace Schroeder's SPD with a perceived cuckoo clock.

I wonder if someone couldn't get those crosses and re-establish that memorial over here? It is beautiful, really.
