The Metamorphosis of a Reunified Berlin

In this lecture, to be held two days before the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Dr. Andrea Mehrländer (Executive Director of the Check Point Charlie Foundation in Berlin, Germany) will juxtapose public activities in Berlin to commemorate JFK’s famous visit there in June 1963 with the upcoming celebration of the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and will discuss larger issues of commemoration and celebration of events in Berlin’s history.
