It examines the key moments that have defined Germany s past its great world-changing achievements and its devastating tragedies and it explores the profound influence that Germany s history culture and inventiveness have had across Europe.The objects featured in the radio series range from large sculptures to small individual artifacts and items that are prosaic iconic and symbolic.
