About the Book

The Berlin Wall Today is a richly illustrated full color book that takes the reader on a tour of the last traces and fading memories of the historic symbol of the Iron Curtain-to memorials, parks, hidden back yards, old train tracks, factory buildings, churches, and Prussian cemeteries. The Berlin Wall Today tells stories of struggle, desperation, survival, and rebirth and of a history that shaped the post- war world. It also shows how the people of Berlin are reclaiming and memorializing the ground where the Wall once stood: Mauer Park, where young people from all over world gather to party; a guard tower that is now the Museum of Forbidden Art; the Topography of Terror Museum, which includes the former Gestapo headquarters; and landmarks such as the Reichstag, the East Side Gallery, and Checkpoint Charlie. Numerous maps are included that lead the visitor from point to point.

Review :
This book stands out. It is not just about the Wall, but what happened to it after the Wende, with images strikingly new and refreshingly unfamiliar. it's not just a guide, but a commentary on the significance of the Wall. It highlights the dark history of the Iron Curtain, as well as its political and artistic legacy as a canvas and cultural landmark. Readers will be rewarded with a multi-faceted manual to understanding both the complexity and significance of a world-famous symbol. --- Justinian Jampol, director of the Wende Museum, Los Angeles "A picturesque tour to the remembrances of the Wall that gives you a unique feeling about Berlin history". -Dorothee Dubrau, Planning Commissioner in Berlin-Mitte and Leipzig "This comprehensive, well-illustrated book offers the reader fascinating insights into the world's most notorious Wall." -Paul Sullivan, Slow Travel Berlin
