History In The Future: Vienna

One of the things I have never seen anywhere is how the Viennese value and uphold their history. Their rich history is very well preserved and they use that to compare recent events. One of our speakers during the first day in Vienna talked about how there are similar events in Austria’s history and how they were repeating themselves. Tour guides and professors that I talked to also mention the importance of history because of the many things we can learn and appreciate from them. Specifically, learning how history dealt with their problems and how the future generations can learn from it to prevent such things from happening again. It is a very progressive way of thinking and Canada should learn a thing or two about them. The following photographs represent how history is preserved through the well-maintained historical buildings.

The accumulation of pollution throughout the ages stained the St. Stevens Church, which gives it the black color.
