Add a review about the History House of the Federal Republic of Germany
Those who have visited Europe usually notice that Europeans, unlike us, take care of any era of their history . This is especially true for Germany .In fact, the Germans are the same good reason as soon as possible to forget some events in the history of the 20th century . It is no secret that although the outbreak of two world wars that claimed millions of lives, had a hand in many countries, yet the lion's share of the blame is on Germany . Both times the consequences for Europe and for the country itself were grave, especially the national losses after the Second World War . Not only did the Germans pay colossal indemnities for the damage done to other peoples, not only did Germany lose many t rritory, such as East Prussia and Silesia, it also was divided into two parts - East and West Germany .
German Democratic Republic was part of the CMEA and the Warsaw Pact, and the Federal Republic of Germany remained a capitalist country, and subsequently joined NATO . The capital of a united Germany, as we all know, was from the very foundation of the state Berlin, but that's the trouble, he stayed on the territory of the GDR, and became the capital of the socialist part of Germany . Then for Germany the small, quiet and very few people known Bonn, which remained the capital during the entire period of separate existence of Germanius . Of course, the Museum of History of Germany was to be located exactly here .
The aim of the museum is to acquaint visitors with such a recent but already beginning to forget the history of postwar Germany . By the way, the museum is absolutely free, which is actually a rarity for Europe . The idea of organizing such an exposition belongs to the former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl . The work on designing the building and collecting the collection began in 1982 . Do not need to think that Here is the history of only one part of Germany . No, although the museum is called the Museum of German History, but the material here is distributed to two blocs - the GDR and the FRG, it is very interesting to look at the difference in the life of one and the same people at the same time, but by the will of history found themselves on different sides of the barricades .
