Yesterday we decided to go back to the Jewish Memorial and check out the information center. It was really powerful and really well done. It did a good job of showing the extent of the Holocaust and how many families and individuals were affected by it. It really focused on how each person who was murdered had a life story, ie they were not just another number. I'm really glad we went and I'm glad that it exists. It's really important not to forget what happened.
After this, we went to the Berlin Dome which is an old Cathedral (Lutheran I think) located on musuem island. We were able to walk up to the top of the dome and had a great view of that part of the city. We kind of just walked around for the rest of the time there.
Last night, we met up with Jens and asked him all of our stupid American questions about why things are done the way they are and how to say certain things. He's a really nice guy and we are probably going to go out again tonight.
In a bit, we're going to hop on the train and wait in line for the Reichstag. Tomorrow we're off to Prague.... that is, if the train workers don't strike! http://www.btschüssloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601100&sid=avT02opzvCZs&refer=germany
