long article 4 min

A new Ukraine Museum has opened in a World War II air-raid bunker in Berlin to illustrate the ongoing conflict's physical reality. The museum, created with assistance from Ukrainian organizations, features war remnants, images, and personal accounts to chronicle the invasion and highlight Ukrainian resilience. Visitors are confronted with a simulated drone attack upon entry, emphasizing the immediacy of the war. Curators Wieland Giebel and Enno Lenze, who also run the Berlin Story Bunker, regularly travel to Ukraine to deliver aid and collect artifacts for the museum, including a damaged "social taxi" used for evacuations. Privately funded, the museum aims to combat war fatigue and will remain open for the duration of the conflict, serving as the only museum of its kind outside of Ukraine.
