Rick's Video of the Month: February 2010
Berlin, Germany: Checkpoint Charlie
Rick Steves' YouTube Channel is a great place to watch clips from Rick's TV shows, interviews, lectures and other public appearances.
This month we're featuring a 1½-minute clip from Berlin. At the "Museum Haus am Checkpoint Charlie" we'll learn how freedom-seeking Easterners were smuggled past armed guards and into West Berlin before the wall came down in 1989. Located at the former border checkpoint between the Soviet and American sectors, the museum pays tribute to these brave smugglers and their passengers.
Want to see the entire show? Watch Rick Steves' half-hour "Berlin: Resilient, Reunited and Reborn" show — on demand and free. Just click 'Rick on TV'... or buy the DVD.
