Berlin and Western Poland
Over the Borderline

Joseph Rosendo's Travelscope

From the episode website: "Beginning in Berlin and ending in Poznan, where the Polish state began, Joseph travels the German – Polish border region and is captivated by the beautiful structures, historic traditions and respected customs. He also is aware of what time and events have stolen. In Berlin, he follows his story with a Trabi car tour of the city, pauses at Checkpoint Charlie, the East Side Gallery, where the Wall still stands and stops to honor the Wall’s victims at the Wall Memorial. For a ride on the natural side he bikes to the nearby royal town of Potsdam, site of the famous conference, where in the Dutch Quarter he slows down to enjoy Gemütlichkeit, the good life. His journey across the borderline in Poland stops in town after town where the ever shifting Polish/German nationalities spotlight Polish national pride and epic perseverance. He enjoys the rural countryside in a mosaic of activities from river boating in Wroclaw, riding in a steam locomotive in Wolsztyn and celebrating ceramic making in Boleslawiec. As he tours through this resurrected and revitalized region he is reminded how resilient human beings are and their ability to, Phoenix-like, rise from their ashes again and again."
