Entry from: Berlin, Germany Entry Title: “Lots of German History” Entry: “We started off the day early with a large breakfast. Taking Rick Steves’ advice, we ate at 7am in order to arrive at the Reichstag (German Parliament) early and avoid the lines. Even though we were in the first group to be admitted, it took about 25 minutes to get through security (metal detectors, etc.) Jake got the pat down, but no weapons were found. The Reichstag was originally built in the late 19th century as a home for the German government as established in 1871. It is the same building that mysteriously caught fire in 1933 just before Hitler’s selection as Chancellor General. It was not used by the legislature from 1933 until the 1990s (no Nazis or Communists), when after the reunification of Germany, Berlin was chosen to be the capital city once again. Heavily damaged during WWII, the building sat as an eyesore for many years. It has been redesigned from the inside out, providing state-of-the-art facilities while at the same time maintaining its historic exterior.

Outside of the Reichstag, we paused at a memorial to the members of the Social

Berlin Wall, 1986, Confrontation and Media Circus

To Buy the DVD Go Here: firstrunfeatures.com Something to Do With the Wall A film by Ross McElwee & Marilyn Levine In 1986, Ross McElwee (Sherman’s March) and Marilyn Levine were making a film about the 25th anniversary of the Berlin Wall, when the imposing structure was still very much intact as the worlds most visible symbol of hardline Communism and Cold War lore. They thought they were making a documentary on the community of tourists, soldiers, and West Berliners who lived in the seemingly eternal presence of the graffiti emblazoned eyesore. But in 1989, as the original film neared completion, the Wall came down, and McElwee and Levine returned to Berlin, this time to capture the radically different atmosphere of the reunified city. “A charming group portrait that takes on an almost fictional narrative flair… Extends far beyond the limits of ordinary documentary.” – The Boston Globe “Another blithe chapter in Ross McElwees continuing and extremely uncertain relationship with history… Reporting of a most pertinent and genially eccentric order.” – The New York Times “Spins an exquisite web that holds one enchanted.” – Video Rating Guide for Libraries “A fascinating piece of history – a must see for all history buffs.” – Library Journal “Marvelous!” – Raleigh News and Observer
