Berlin Day Two

Well we woke up early-ish so we could get going with the touring. We decided to head to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, to get a sense of what happened there. We wanted to go with the free company again, but they did not pick up from where they said they would, so we went on our own. We met some nice young girls from Australia and combined our efforts to get there. We showed up just in time to meet up with the free company group so we joined their tour. It was amazing. It was very moving. I could not believe the horrors that took place there. Our guide was from North Carolina and she did a great job. I could try to put things into words for you, but it would only fail. Here are the photos I took, they should give you some idea of what we saw.

It's hard to control your emotions as you tour a place like that. I visited the Dachau concentration camp, near Munich, over thirty years ago, and your pictures brought back memories of that place! Certainly is a period in history that we wish we could erase! [KenM]
