The lessons of history must be highlighted so as to not be repeated, this is an excellent display to remind us of a period of time when the world sunk to the depths of depravity. We have learned from textbooks and video the reach of the Nazi party, their organisation and objectives.

Really, as a world community, we haven’t learnt that much, the current regimes are just far less organised. This is why we need to analyse and review, this is where we learn from history, this is an outstanding museum that educates us on the horrors of evil regimes. 

The topography of terror in Berlin is the former Gestapo and SS headquarters, this was demolished after the war and used as a dumping ground for the reconstruction and later a car park. Naturally, it is painful as a nation to keep returning to a period of history that most would much rather forget. However, the Gestapo and the SS were mandated with subduing the population and the museum provides some interesting insights into the period.
