The Berlin Wall Today is a richly illustrated, full-color book that takes readers on a trip to the last remnants of the Iron Curtain, to memorial sites, green parks, hidden back yards, old train tracks, factory buildings, churches, and Prussian cemeteries.

The book tells stories of struggle, desperation, survival, and rebirth, of a history that shaped the world and of what is happening today where the Wall used to be: The Wall Park, where young people from all over the world party, a guard tower that is now the Museum of Forbidden Art, the Topography of Terror Museum with the infamous former Gestapo headquarters, and landmarks such as the Reichstag, the East Side Gallery, and Checkpoint Charlie. Numerous maps lead visitors from point to point.
