Berlin Wall is Being Rebuilt

Granted, they're only re-building about 200 yards of it (considering the original was 96 miles long), but that's still quite a bit. The project is being done to "ensure that the brutality of the Communist regime is not forgotten, and to stop the Wall being wiped from memory." Really, I think most Berliners want the Wall -- and the memories associated with it -- to be forgotten. Full story.

Then why not pave Auschwitz and put up a parking lot? :)

Because Auschwitz already is paved and in fact does have a parking lot.
