As the November 9th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall approaches, educational and memorial displays like this one in Potsdamer Platz are popping up all over Berlin. Located just south of the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag (German Parliament Building), this major city square was virtually destroyed during World War 2 and left in ruins during the Cold War. This particular display sits on the spot where the Berlin Wall once bisected the square. Since reunification, Potsdamer Platz has been the focus of intense redevelopment.
