Soon, the Wall was gone. Or was it?
Not only is it not gone, there are new remnants of the Wall every year: Wall slabs in front of Berlin hotels, churches, and museums, steles and signs, and the ever-growing cobble stone path tracing the Wall. The Wall Memorial Museum at Bernauer Strasse has a new outdoor exhibit, including a chapel where the Church of Reconciliation had been. The Wall has been put up for movies again, as a backdrop for Sunday Karaoke at the Wall Park, and it is just being restored at the East Side Gallery. There is even a whole new museum devoted to the Wall, the Palace of Tears, located at the Friedrichstrasse train station.
You can find all these places and more in our full-color picture book The Berlin Wall Today. Ruins, Remnants, Remembrances, by Michael Cramer. The book is now out as a newly updated fall 2015 edition with more pages, more pictures, and more maps.
