Dresden Cathedral Reopens After 60 Years

Sixty years after Allied bombs destroyed it, the Dresden cathedral has reopened after a $215 million restoration. “For 47 years, Dresden residents had known the Frauenkirche, or Church of Our Lady, as a 43-foot-high mound of rubble flanked by two jagged walls. That was all that remained after British and U.S. planes strafed the city with firebombs on the night of Feb. 13-14, 1945.”
