Ein Fragment, das unter Glas in einem geöffneten Koffer liegt, in einem Friedensmuseum, das von Esperantisten im sowjetischen Usbekistan gegründet wurde.
Die ausführliche Geschichte, die Herkunft und die Quellenangaben dieses Eintrags liegen bislang nur auf Englisch vor.
The Esperanto Friendship Club was one of the first Esperantist associations founded in the Uzbek Soviet Republic, in the early 1980s. True to Samarkand's history as a trading city on the Silk Road, the small circle around Anatoly Ionesov built up a network of correspondents around the world, and in 1986 — the International Year of Peace, and with the tolerance of the state authorities — opened the International Museum for Peace and Solidarity. The initiative remained unique after the Soviet Union broke up in 1991. The museum joined the International Peace Bureau in Geneva and the association of peace museums founded in 1992, and was given the honorary title of people's museum in Uzbekistan.
Its collection runs to more than twenty thousand objects from over a hundred countries, and among them is a lump of the Berlin Wall, sent as a gift by the Friedensbibliothek-Antikriegsmuseum in Berlin. It lies under glass in an opened suitcase, with a photograph of the donor standing in front of the Wall beside it.
The display is the point of the record. Elsewhere in this catalogue the Wall is stood upright and lit, as a monument to itself. Here a piece of it is presented as luggage — something that was carried out of a place, by someone, and arrived.
Wie kam es hierher?
A gift from the Friedensbibliothek-Antikriegsmuseum in Berlin.
