"Berlin Walls" by Brian Ladd

It is impressive how the Berlin Wall was built in one night, was physically present for about 30 years and still remains in the mentality of the German people nowadays. The Wall divided and united people at the same time. The past always has an echo in the present and future. Whether a positive or negative one, depends on how well people are able to make right conclusions from it. It is shocking for me that the German nation tried for along time and is still trying to ignore some facts of its history. Not wanting to leave a piece of the Wall as a monument is a clear example of that. Nobody can blame them after everything survived but theirs is not the most tragic history in the world. Each people has its own tragedies and black pages of history, the strength is to keep them in the book in order to teach children what is wrong and right in the world of human society. In this sense, little Anne Frank who was killed together with her whole family is stronger than anyone by declaring in her last words: "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart."
