Memorial mural


We are back to Treptower Park and the Soviet War Memorial. This mosaic is actually inside the monument (which really is monumental) itself. I'll show it to you tomorrow. Until then, you can find more murals at Monday Mural.

  1. Kind of a creepy quality to this mosaic, I think, like they were trying a little too hard to mimic Greek hagiography.

    1. The whole thing is creepy. Especially when you think about how much the Russian soldiers terrorized the people (mostly women, children and the elderly) who were left in Berlin. There was a lot of rape and abuse. Hard times...

    1. I wouldn't call this a "must see" if you only have limited time in Berlin. I don't think my husband has ever been out to see it!
