To learn how others see and and present that famous year 1968, I went to the exhibition "68 - Brennpunkt Berlin" in Amerikahaus today. Twice. In the afternoon I had a first look around, and really liked what they had collected and the way they showed it. Even though it's mostly about the students' movement - and 68 was a lot more.
A few hours later, I sat in their lounge, listening to photographer Günter Zint. He's a member of our trade union, always busy working, organizing, bringing up new crazy ideas, and making them come true, and - last, but not least - having fun doing it. Since early 60s.
Whilst joining the protests in Berlin he took photos, too, and sold them to german newspapers. They are great documents of the time, and a very important part of the exhibition.
It's still running until May 31st, so if you have a chance, don't miss it!

That sounds a good lesson of history. I am a bit sad that my trip to Berlin and beyound will start a bit later - hopefully.
Btw, I started again my english blog, so you're most welcome to join for the readers.
