Todd Gambal, Omaha, Neb., senior, stops in Murphy Hall to examine a photo exhibit that depicts the destruction of the Berlin Wall.
Murphy Hall photo exhibit documents emotions during the fall of Berlin Wall
By Sarah Davis
Kansan staff writer
The photograph exhibit in the Murphy Hall Exhibition Gallery documents more than just the fall of the war. It also includes reactions and reactions of those involved.
Lisa Harris, program assistant for the office of international studies and programs, which sponsored the exhibit, said the photos focused on people and their emotions.
"It shows the perspective of the people on both sides of the wall," Harris said. "This exhibit is designed to show you how it happened and to make you feel it."
KU is the first university to acquire the exhibit, which will continue its seven-month journey by next going to Westminster College in Fulton, M.
The exhibit, which consists of 30 photos by six photographers, will be at KU until Jan. 31. It is on loan from the Consulate General of Germany at Chicago, and since Oct. 3, it traveled to four different shows before coming to the University of Kansas.
'We decided to do a few other events to foster awareness of Germany. We're really grateful the consulate worked with us to bring the exhibit to KU and grateful to the Murphy staff for allowing us the space.'
Andrea Moehwald, vice consul at the German Consulate in Chicago.

"For me, as a German, it's so unbelievable to see these friendly pictures of the wall when it was still a symbol of two Germans." Moeh, who now I see the victory of self-determination and freedom for the people.
Honorary Consul Willard Snyder, who coordinated and brought the exhibit to KU, said the photos contain many emotions, including disbelief.
“It’s very symbolic,” Snyder said. “It wasn’t just Berlin, it was all of Germany.”
Snyder said the exhibit was brought to KU as a contribution to a
series of events celebrating German awareness on campus. The events include the Camerata Musica-Berin chamber orchestra concert Sunday and a lecture by German journalist Carola Kaps, who will speak at 3:30 p.m. today at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union.
Harris said, "We decided to do a few other events to foster awareness of Germany. We're really grateful the consulted work with us to bring the exhibit to KU and grateful to the staff for allowing us the space."
The photos occupy a long corridor and are arranged to take the viewer through the gallery. Hear them said that during the 9% hours it took to set up the exhibit Friday,
many students stopped to look.
"I especially enjoyed hearing students' reactions as we put it up," she said.
Vickey Maier, Los Alamos, N.M. sophomore, said she enjoyed the exhibit.
"It was sort of a unique celebration, once a in-a-life occurrence," she said. "This is something the whole world could share."
Harris said that about 2,000 people had seen the exhibit and that she expected another 1,000.
She said that by listening to people's reactions, she found that no two people agreed on which photo was their favorite.
"It seemed to affect each person differently," she said.
One of her favorite photos was of a woman presenting flowers to the East German guards to symbolize peace. She said the photo exhibit was tied in with the Persian Gulf war.
"It's unfortunate they collide, but I think we need to keep peace in our hearts." Harris said. "The pictures show graphically that peace is possible between two diverse groups."
