The Berlin Story Bunker, located in a former World War II air raid shelter, has launched a new exhibition focused on the Ukraine war. Various items, including weapons, artifacts from the front lines, and personal testimonies of the conflict, have been collected to educate the public about the harsh realities of the ongoing war. Curator Wieland Giebel emphasized the importance of the exhibit in helping German visitors understand the implications of war, stating that many cannot fathom what it truly entails.

This exhibition complements existing permanent displays that address topics like Nazism and Germany's history from 1945 to the present. Giebel noted that it is essential for Germans to grasp the current situation in Ukraine, highlighting Germany's significant role as one of Ukraine's main supporters. The country is seen as a leading supplier of weapons to Ukraine in Europe, as well as a crucial diplomatic ally who has accepted approximately 1.3 million Ukrainian refugees fleeing the conflict.

Despite the widespread support from the German public for Ukraine's fight against Russia, the supply of weapons remains a contentious issue due to Germany's strong pacifist traditions. This exhibition seeks to bridge the gap in understanding and provoke discussions about the impact of war on both a national and personal level, as the visitors are encouraged to confront the uncomfortable realities of the ongoing conflict.
