Mans inhumanity to man-everyone should visit this so the atrocities the Nazi's inflicted should never be forgotten

Surviving facade of Berlin Wall. Demonstrates post war effects on Germany and division of Germany. Nearest place after checkpoint Charlie. Move to Potsdamer platz after this

The thoughtful exhibits here are arranged in an open floor plan, making it easier to visit some but not other portions with younger kids as an introduction to the very unsettling topics covered.
