Inspiration and Other Notes Visiting the Jewish Cemetery in Prague, My mother in Danzig watching the start
of the war, My father witnessing the aftermath of the war, Neo-nazis enter a café
on Colditz marketplace, Being seen through still eyes in Meißen, Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas in Berlin.
I have added a soundtrack to the Walther Ruttmann's
1927 film, BERLIN die Symphonie der Großstadt, using Lou Reed's Berlin album
as a framework, along with hits from Germany 1922-1933, punctuated by Nico's chilling
rendition of the national anthem, and it is fascinating to see this classic piece
of film alongside the 2002 interpretation.
