Nazism

Berlin is a city layered with history that offers countless sites that narrate its complex past. While landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and the Berliner Fernsehturm are globally recognized, a less-visited yet profoundly significant site lies in the southern district of Mariendorf: the Martin Luther Memorial Church. Often starkly referred to as the Berlin Nazi Church, this building provides a unique and unsettling glimpse into the intertwining of faith and fascism during the Third Reich.

Berlin is a city rich in history, with its vibrant present often built on the remnants of a complex and, at times, troubling past. While iconic landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and the Reichstag attract millions of visitors, there are quieter sites that hold equally profound stories. One such site is the memorial dedicated to the former Columbia-Haus, situated on Columbiadamm near the expansive grounds of the former Tempelhof Airport.

It was early June 1945 when LIFE Magazine published an article titled the The Battered Face of Germany showing all the destruction caused by the Second World War in Germany. This article was published not long after the surrender of Germany where, today, we have the Russian German Museum in Karlshorst. In this article you could see amazing pictures made from the air by Margaret Bourke-White who would later be accredited as the first american woman to photograph in the Second World War. Also, the first authorized to fly on combat missions. Her pictures showed the devastation of Germany and show the pattern of destruction caused by Allied air bombing.
