To accompany the conference on the weekend of November 6, the fifteenth anniversary of those events, the Arthur Ross Gallery offers a visual recollection and a contribution to the understanding of that vanished state.

Photographs from East Germany by Lutz Masanetz, November 6, 2004 - January 30, 2005 will be on display at the Arthur Ross Gallery, 220 S. 34th St., Philadelphia, PA.
