And you know what’s right next to it?
That’s right, the Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden, which translates to the Memorial for the murdered jews.

Germany gets why you shouldn’t have monuments to your bad points in history.
But try explaining to Americans they have bad points in their history.
Well part of it is that we also didn’t have, you know, HITLER
Not to like, compare tragedies or something, because horrible things in human history don’t need a measuring contest, but you know, slavery is uhhhhhh bad
Made this because of yet another Tumblr fiasco! Im a queer witch trying to find a new home that offers the same quirkyness as tumblr. But without the problems :)
