Cold War

Just 23 years ago Berlin was two cities. How did it happen? What was it like to live here and in the East then? What was East Germany and why did it fail? We’ll discuss and visit sites that visually bring the history to life from this period. Sites: The Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, House of Ministries (East German Government building), Television tower, Alexander Platz, Eastside Gallery, Stalinallee and more.
