History is Awesome!

This is much later than intended because I was Away From My Desk (read: At a Con, having an awesome time, before I came down with Sick).

This might interest my fellow history nerds. Wir waren so frei is a project collecting pictures and eyewitness reports about the fall of the Berlin Wall and beyond. The website exists in both [german] and [english].

There are nearly 2400 pictures and 34 videos. You can browse by topic, location or click through users' favourites. It's incredibly neat. It does not only give you an impression of that specific night but there are also pictures from the prior protests and the aftermath up to and including unification.

I posted some more about it [here].
