For Benjamin, art makes history’s absences perceptible. Shida Bazyar’s Die Lücken, just awarded the German Book Prize, does precisely this: a kaleidoscope of voices, memories and silences in which the past refuses to stay past. www.deutscher-buchpreis.de/en/news/item...

There's a play of Vincenzo Patronico's Perfection currently running at the Volksbühne theater. We would be very interested to hear how this was done. If you go, let us know.

A theatrical adaptation of “Perfection” by Vincenzo Latronico leans into political critique for an audience that looks a lot like the book’s characters.

#Berlin Die Besetzung und anschließende Räumung der Mainzer Straße im Berliner Bezirk Friedrichshain im November 1990 gilt als eine der schwersten Straßenschlachten der deutschen Nachkriegsgeschichte und markierte eine tiefe politische und gesellschaftliche Zäsur im frisch wiedervereinigten Berlin.

Ahh so glad* that in Germany we’re apparently doing the “well, this man *deserved* to be sent to a concentration camp, the Nazis were the party of law and order you see” discourse (again). *fucking hell.

This is meant to be a provocation, but it show a major generational shift in the German far right - during the Cold War, the far right followed the expellee lobby and talked about 1937 borders (i.e reclaiming East Prussia and Silesia from the USSR and Poland but pre Anschluss of Austria)

The “Molecule Man” sculpture in Berlin symbolizes the reunification of East and West Berlin and the intersection of the three districts (Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, and Treptow) where it stands in the Spree.

Since it is regularly asserted on social media that reunification was somehow illegitimate, I think it important to note that the process of German reunification was driven by a democratic process supported by a supermajority of the East German population.

"Looking back at the winter of 1989-90 from the vantage point of more than three decades later, it seems as if reunification was inevitable from the moment the Wall came down." — Paul Scraton on Germany's rocky road to reunification. (Unpaywalled). www.slowtravelberlin.com/the-road-to-...
