Berlin colonnades



Berlin is a conflicted city, trying to decide which parts of its history to erase from memory and which parts to preserve. These colonnades are the subject of public debate over whether to patch over the bullet holes from Russian/Nazi fighting at the end of World War II, or leave them there for their historic value. I vote for leaving them there.
