Documenting the terror of National Socialism

In a old Gestapo-area, the museum is free and one of the most beautiful of the capital. The concept of the construction and of the exposition is really interesting, the place full of contemporary history...under the museum there is an important specialized historical library on National Socialism.

That Germany is open and dynamic today is a consequence of taking responsibility for its history. In a courageous, humane and moving manner, the country is subjecting itself to a national psychoanalysis. This Freudian idea, that the repressed (or at least unspoken) will fester like a canker unless it is brought to the light, can be seen in Daniel Libeskind's tortured Jewish Museum, at the Holocaust Memorial and, above all, at the Topography of Terror. Be aware that this outdoor museum, built on the site of the former headquarters of the SS and Gestapo, is not for the fainthearted.
