Today was a very sobering day as we explored the historical reality and political past here in Berlin and Germany.
The memorials to the Berlin Wall and Checkpoint Charlie are a meaningful reminder of why we need more bridges and less walls in all societies throughout the world.
The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe is a powerful place of information and remembrance to the families destroyed by Nazi genocide.
