White Painted Cathedrals: Sights and Sounds from Hamburg, Germany


Sights: Meandering through multiple cathedrals in the industrial city of Hamburg, you'll find many interiors covered with a white coat of paint and filled with a blend of both modern and more dated icons. There's a certain sense of the Germans attempting to scrub clean their past, trying to mark their entry into an era configured as a progressive, equitable, and inclusive. But is it so?
