点评:I found this museum absolutely fascinating and somewhat intimidating due to what went on here. It’s left largely untouched from the moment the wall fell to now. I felt like I knew the place before arriving because of the various German dramas which have used this exact location. The wood panelled walls, the socialist iconography, the lengths that the Stasi went to to protect their idea of utopia is, quite frankly, staggering. It is a great testament to the survivors, to those who sought to prevent this place from being destroyed so as to cover up the horrors, that this place is open for all to see what the removal of freedoms really looks like in this age of fake news via social media and mind control via Ai. Many people in the west claim they don’t live in a free country with free speech- a couple of hours here will educate you differently and also will make you think of those people in the world who still live under brutal regimes. This is a must see museum. It’s utterly fascinating.
翻译:我发现这座博物馆既引人入胜又令人敬畏,因为这里曾经发生过许多可怕的事情。从柏林墙倒塌至今,这里几乎保持着原貌。由于许多德国电视剧都曾在此取景,我感觉在来之前就已经对这里有所了解。木质镶板的墙壁、社会主义的标志,以及东德国家安全部(Stasi)为了维护其所谓的“乌托邦”理念而采取的种种手段,坦白说,都令人震惊。这座博物馆向所有人开放,让所有人都能亲眼目睹在社交媒体充斥着虚假新闻、人工智能进行精神控制的时代,自由是如何被剥夺的,这本身就是对幸存者以及那些试图阻止这里被摧毁以掩盖恐怖历史的人们的莫大肯定。许多西方人声称他们生活在一个没有言论自由的国家——但在这里待上几个小时,你就会改变这种看法,也会让你思考世界上那些仍然生活在残酷政权下的人们。这座博物馆绝对值得一看,它令人叹为观止。
