    Dresden bombing memorialized by candlelight and protest

    A woman lights candles in front of the Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) in Dresden to commemorate the 67th anniversary of the allied bombings during World War II. The destruction of Dresden, in which 25,000 people were killed, sparked a debate on whether breaking public morale through the raids was justifiable since many believed the defeat of Hitler's Nazis was imminent.

    People stand along side each other to form a human chain during the 67th anniversary of the Allied bombing of Dresden during WWII in Dresden on Feb. 13. The chain was formed to protest against neo-nazis who use the memorial day to spread their ideology by demonstrations in Dresden.

    People light candles to build a form of a large candle at the Neumarkt Square in downtown Dresden, on Feb. 13, as citizens of Dresden commemorate victims of the Second World War who died during aerial bombardments. Between Feb. 13 – 15, 1945, 1,300 US and British heavy bombers dropped more than 3,900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices on the city, the Baroque capital of the German state of Saxony. The resulting firestorm destroyed 15 square miles of the city center and killed an estimated 25,000 people.

    Germany and Japan started the war, we, the Allies, finished it. If the Neo-Nazis want another one, we'll finish that one, too. If you don't like the realities of war, then don't start one.

    American architect Daniel Libeskind and his European representative Jochen Klein in the Bundeswehr Military History Museum in Dresden, Oct. 13. Libeskind's design boldly interrupts the original building's symmetry with an extension, a massive wedge of glass, concrete and steel, cutting through the 135-year-old former arsenal's structural order. A viewing platform provides views of Dresden while pointing in the opposite direction toward the source of the fire-bombs, creating a space for reflection.

     The 135-year old armory got a radical makeover from American architect Daniel Libeskind. He said he he wanted to create  something symbolic of Germany's rigid authoritarian past giving way to the liberal democracy of today.  Full story.

    Incoming! No, not really, but when I first saw the thumbnail-sized image of this it looked more like an attack than an installation.
