Dear reader(s),
I forgot my SD card yesterday and couldn't take any pictures, but my professor emailed us a couple so I thought I'd share them.
This one is our class in front of some pieces of the former Berlin wall in Potsdamer Platz.
 |
| In between the wall fragments are "before and after" pictures of the area from the Cold War. |
The next is outside the huge former Luftwaffe building (which I wish I had pictures of). The DDR painted a huge mural on part of it that shows this idyllic socialist state - people smiling, dancing, laying railroads, farming - the perfect Communist life. Obviously it was propaganda; the DDR was nothing like that at all.
 |
| By the way, I'm the one in the white hat in all of these. |
This subway station, Mohrenstrasse, has this gorgeous red marble all over the walls that was taken by the Russians from Hitler's former office in the Nazi Reichs Chancellory building and used to patch up the heavily bombed walls.
 |
| I mean, how often do you get a chance to sit right on Hitler's office, eh? |
That's all for now...today is the Jewish museum so there will be lots of interesting and sad photos soon.
Tschuss,
Anna
