I am Benjamin Spraker, a graduate student at the University of North Georgia doing class projects on this site. I am interested in researching twentieth century European history with a focus on central Europe. Dresden was severely impacted by both world wars since its population was devastated by the first and directly targeted in the second. In the photo above, most of the structures are completely gone or uninhabitable, including entire streets that are not present in Dresden today. On this site, I plan to study what remains of the old city, as well as what changed during occupation and post-unification recovery.
