    At the #BerlinWallMemorial and its moving tribute to the scores killed trying to cross the border. It’s a reminder of the inhumanity people inflict to stop the desperate, suffering powerless from leaving home in hope of better — and the ultimately unstoppable desire for freedom.pic.twitter.com/iNtNsjbCDE

        My daughter and grandson now live a mile away which inspired me to write recent book on escapes at the Wall, including via tunnels.https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/20/books/review/tunnels-greg-mitchell.html …

        Yes. Watching that wall come down changed my life. And the lives of so many tortured humans.

        The constant fight tht some indulge 2 exert power over other humans & their deep sense of insecurity towards those who speak, look, eat or live differently is telling of how incapacitated they R & the very freedom they try to take away from others is as elusive for them as others

        A good way to think about building walls to separate people.

        Berlin is such an unusual city; it’s INTENSELY historical, and yet all the history is from just the past hundred years.

        and in case you're looking for good coffee and cake in the vicinity: THE BARN (Auguststraße 58, 10115 Berlin) has amazing cheesecake.
