Today, the iconic guardhouse replica and historical exhibits offer a stark reminder of Berlin's divided past and the yearning for freedom that ultimately prevailed.

Walk along remnants of the Berlin Wall and reflect on the devastating consequences of unchecked power and the importance of vigilance against extremism.
