Day 18 October 17th

Today we visited the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp in Oranienburg just outside Berlin. While this camp largely was used for political prisoners and not as many Jewish people it will give the students a very good understanding of the Nazi persecution in Europe. After that we visited the East Side Gallery where sections of the Wall were left in place. On the west side is graffiti and on the east side are murals painting by varying groups/ artists in the 1990’s. Evening we walked the famous Kurfürstendamm (Ku’damm) shopping street, visited the Emperor Wilhelm Memorial Church and had a Group Dinner.
