- I'm at Checkpoint Charlie,
the souvenir store right
across from the Island,
that the image is so famous.
I am purchasing a piece of concrete,
but it's from the Berlin Wall.
The most important geopolitical
event of my lifetime.
And Burkle is going to
explain what I just bought.
- 'Kay, hi, my name is Marko,
and my English not so good
but I try to explain you something.
All pieces you see in this
shop is definitely real
from the Berlin Wall.
We sell the small
pieces, pieces like that.
We have them different sizes.
We have pieces like that.
We have pieces like that.
And this is also kind of souvenir,
but we also have the huge rocks
from the Berlin Wall,
from the original segment.
And this is not any more souvenir.
This is more than a trophy, I would say.
It's more than a trophy
and we sell it also worldwide
because this huge piece is up
to 10 kilos, maybe a bit more.
And I'm very proud to be the shop leader,
and the team leader, of this shop.
Because I have the free
hand and can feel free
to organize and decorate the whole shop.
And I'm from the east of Germany,
I was born in East Germany.
And I've never be...
How to say?
I've never imagined that
I stand with 37 years
in the shop and try to sell the last piece
from the Berlin Wall.
But it is, but it is, and, yeah.
Okay?
- So what about that means,
what can you tell us about this--
- This piece is the...
How to say?
This piece is the edge of the
Wall, the end of one segment,
and you see the marks here in the middle.
And on the other segments, the negative,
this is from the Trail, the negative
who fits perfectly in this piece.
And so, one segment ends here
and another one starts
immediately on this position.
And you also see the marks,
the iron marks, inside.
So, this is the guarantee also,
that it's a real piece
from the Berlin Wall.
- [Steven] And there's rebar there too.
- Yeah, right.
I couldn't turn that, unless
I will scratch everything.
But you have a lot of faults
you see from the other sides.
And, yeah, it's all real.
- Well, thank you, Marko,
for telling me what I just bought.
- Thank you.
- I can't believe
I bought a piece of concrete
for a number of euros,
but it's the importance of the event
and all that it symbolizes.
And hopefully, we will
all remember the lessons
of the past.
And, so we don't repeat them in the future
and enjoy the present, thank you.
- Thank you, Mr. Fletcher, thanks.
