This is a photo of me with Gustav Rust, he was a Stasi prisoner in the former East Germany for 9 years where he was beaten
and tortured by people(Why does no one do a 'Where are they now' program about these evil cowards?) who wanted to make him think properly. He runs a memorial for all those that the communists tried to keep in East Germany so they could likewise be made to think properly by whatever means these cowards felt like using, such as shooting them and leaving them to drown in the river Spree or simply beating them to death. Gustav in his very broken english told me how they beat him with rubber truncheons and stamped on his stomach in their military issue boots, then I think he said they gave him another 6 years for using his brain. Here's to you Gustav Rust, it was a pleasure to meet you. Checkout http//:www.gustav-rust.de (You will need to speak german though, or use an online translating service), he is always at his site of remembrance for those killed trying to escape East Germany, its a couple of hundred metres from the Brandenburg Gate , on the edge of the Tierpark, across the road from the Reichstag. Go there, shake his hand and give some euro's to him, he spends it on flowers and political agitation, a worthy cause indeed.
This is by what's left of the wall, (I think this is the last intact piece,the rest of it has been turned into postcards and memento's) next to the 'topography of terror' where the Gestapo used to do their torturing in WW2. Thousands of people were brought here in the 30's and 40's to 'The most feared address in Berlin' not many went home again. I found a piece of what looks like human bone! What a souvenir.
