JFK has left an ever lasting positive impression on the Berliners of yesterday and today. When he visited the divided city of Berlin in 1963 only a few months before he was assassinated his statement "Ich bin ein Berliner" left the city reassured that he would not give in to the Soviet pressure of that time.
Even though the lectern from behind which he addressed the thousands of people still exists today at the Schöneberg City Hall, nothing of value did commemorate that visit until this year.
The Kennedys is a neat small little museum directly at Pariser Platz opposite the Brandenburg Gate and perfectly designed to spend 30 min. to one hour on the trail of JFK, his family and of course his visit to Berlin in 1963.
