Berlin is a magnet for artists, music-lovers, hipsters, and bohemians who feed off its progressive and liberal energy. Its eastern neighbourhoods in particular are a hipster’s Disneyland of independent breweries, vegan eateries, contemporary art spaces, and crazy techno clubs. However, the capital wasn’t always so liberal; it became a prison for Jews during WWII, and a prison for every member of the city during the Cold War when it was fought over by the Soviet Union and USA. From the Berlin Wall to the Brandenburg Gate and the Houlocaust Memorial, the city is littered with stark reminders of these tragic times. Yet, as poignant as these landmarks are, they continuously uplift Berlin, and anyone who visits, as they are also reminded that, against all odds, it is possible to achieve freedom and peace.
