Berlin

Berlin is a stark contrast to the old-world European cities we have visited over the past month. The entire city was demolished during WWII and what stands today is a modern Berlin with buildings designed by today's top architects. In our experience, the Germans have been the most open, honest and responsible in their account of their role in WWII. In modern day, unified Berlin, there exists a positive attitude towards the future, not a scarred society from the mistakes of misguided regimes. Just as the city erects beautifully sculpted modern landmarks, of which include a spectacular Jewish Museum by Daniel Libeskind and a striking Holocaust Memorial by Peter Eisenman, you get a sense that the people are building a new future for themselves while acknowledging their past.
