Some shots from Berlin last week. The memorials in Berlin for those who lost their lives due to the policies of the Third Reich are sobering and respectful places, keeping the memories of the victims alive and a reminder and a warning for future generations.

Thanks villimo. Yes these monuments are a grim reminder of history and the German people really deserve a lot of praise for their efforts in reminding us all of what can and has happened when we allow prejudice and hatred to lead. It would have been much easier to bury the shameful past and hope people would forget.

You can substitute Nazi's with ISIS, Syria......the list of prejudice and hatred lessons of the past sometimes gets lost in the modern era.....

Jonas:

Thank you so much for these photos as they revive my memories of the Berlin I love so much and served in from 1974-79. I served in Berlin with the only clandestine Green Beret unit stationed behind the Iron Curtain. The story of that unit is just now coming to light. Just look up the site: www.detachment-a.org

Sincerely,

Juan Renta

Thank you for this Juan. Saw the clip with you on the website, very interesting. This must have been a very difficult job and the pressure on you and your team tremendous. Berlin today is a fantastic city, vibrant and friendly.

Jonas.
