“True reunification of Germany will remain a work in progress. Every year more young Germans are entering adulthood with no personal memory of anything other than life in the “new” Germany.

The “Molecule Man” sculpture in Berlin symbolizes the reunification of East and West Berlin and the intersection of the three districts (Friedrichshain, Kreuzberg, and Treptow) where it stands in the Spree River.

Happy Reunification / Hoff Day 🎉
