Germany in Depth
The powerful forces of history come into focus in every part of Germany.
Berlin’s Checkpoint Charlie Museum recalls decades of Cold War division. Dresden is proudly rebuilt from the total devastation of Allied bombing raids during WWII. And at Dachau, the concentration camp serves as a stark reminder of the darkest chapter in this country’s long story.
