About this audio guide
This guide to the Frauenkirche in Dresden starts on a June morning in two thousand four, when a crane, a duke and about three hundred British guests gathered beneath the rebuilt dome. It follows a London craftsman, his mother, and a father who flew over this city in February nineteen forty-five. Stand facing the walls first, and keep an eye on the darker stones.
