We saw an exhibition about the fall of the Berlin Wall there. This theme is often discussed in Germany, so I learned nothing new about the fall of the Wall, but the exhibition was very interesting, especially the way the theme was brought to you. It was a photographic exhibition. The students, that designed this exhibit, searched the famous scenes at this time and took photos from this time at the present time to see whats changed in the last years.
In Germany the exhibits about the fall of the Berlin Wall would be a little bit different. There would be some pieces of the wall and some pictures of the fall with a text at the exhibit.
I think, that the Wall in some mind still exists, but this depends on the person, their experience, and the houshold, where the person comes from. Some students in Ilmenau also speak evil about the eastern citizens and the eastern states, but when you don't react to these people, they would stop this speaking.
The people, who was born in the western part of Germany, possibly would worsen the East, because they think, that the West is much better than the East.
The people, who was born in the East, may say, that the western men are perfidous.
I don't have such prejudices about the people. I make my own decision about the people, wherever they come from.
Hi Thommy,
AntwortenLöschenCertainly you're right that prejudices continue to exist long after the physical remnants of conflict are gone. I'm glad you found the exhibit interesting.
