This is a piece of the Berlin wall. I always thought that it was bigger, thicker and taller. But the reality is that it was just a large chunk of cement that caused the world to tremble for decades. Strange how something physical can stand for so much evil. The wall has fallen but has it really freed the world from that much evil?
