Berlin Then and Now

by Nick Gay · 2005

+ Want to read

Hitler's ascendancy and defeat transformed a stable, confident Berlin into a ruined city, fractured by post-WWII political divisions. Only with the 1989 destruction of the Wall and the subsequent Unification Treaty did Berlin begin to regain its cosmopolitan standing as one of the world's great cities. Experience the tumultuous events of the city's modern history through archival and contemporary photography that offers a rare glimpse of Berlin's fascinating metamorphosis.
