Berlin's forgotten victims of communism
http://www.dw.com/en/berlin-24-7-berlins-forgotten-victims-of-communism/a-42305680"Mauergleiche" (literally, wall equal): It's a word that even I, as a German, needed to Google to decipher its meaning. Or do you know what it's about?
Why am I asking? A friend has just invited me to a "Mauergleiche" party. Is it just another one of Berlin's typical excuses for unrestrained alcohol consumption?
Party for the Berlin Wall?
The invitation details helped me to understand what they meant with "Mauergleiche."
"The Berlin Wall stood for 10,316 days and will have been gone for just as many days on February 6, 2018. Let's drink to that!"
