The Berlin Wall, once the symbol of a divided Europe, is being rebuilt ... well, a 200-yard stretch to ensure that the brutality of the Communist regime is not forgotten. But it has provoked a fierce debate among Berliners about the limits of remembrance, reports The Times. Alexandra Hildebrandt, who runs the Checkpoint Charlie museum, knew that her idea would be controversial. The city council will allow the Wall to be built only as a temporary art exhibit but she wants to make it permanent. "For the young, the Berlin Wall is virtually forgotten," she said. "We are essentially creating a freedom memorial on a piece of land that was little more than a rubbish dump. I don't see the problem." "It's a very strange feeling," said Wolfgang Müller, 53, as he carefully smoothed cement on to the blocks. "I never thought I would be building the Berlin Wall again." For Walter Momper, a former Mayor of Berlin, the new Wall is an affront: "You cannot make a tourist attraction out of an instrument of murder," he said.
