Re: One Of The Devils Best Tricks
Vimesey, I agree. That Holocaust Memorial is one of the most "profoundly moving experiences" I' ve ever had. Also, it's situated on a piece of land where anyone entering it without permission could legally be shot dead until relatively recently (end of 1989). No questions allowed.
To get back on the subject, I wonder whether Hair Furor has ever visited that memorial.

Re: One Of The Devils Best Tricks
That memorial is situated between what used to be in an area between East and West Berlin. Surrounded by walls.
The walls were in East Berlin.
The Big Wall right next to Western border (built by East Germany) was seperated from the Small Wall (also built by East Germany) by a few hundred metres, depending on the area.
In that area where the Holocaust Memorial is now, that area was around 500m in width. Nobody was allowed to be in that area without permission. They got shot by East German Border Guards for trying to cross the border. No questions asked.

Re: And now it looks like travel bans extend to US Citizens.
Goodness gracious me. Is travelling a privilege now under Trump? I mean, US citizens have always had the right to leave the US if they wanted to. It's a right.

Nope. It's the right of US citizens to leave and re-enter the US. That's not a privilege. It's a right. No US official can even try to deny entry into the US by any US citizen.
