Historic Berlin

Berlin is saturated with WWII memories. I think I learned more about the war than in any of my history classes. Germans are very conscious of the history of this city and make a significant effort to remind themselves and others about it to prevent history from ever repeating itself.

Rachel told me about your blog-- I think you're home now, but I love seeing all the places you've visited. I've always wanted to go to Berlin and seeing this post cements the desire-- next trip hopefully! Cool that you got to see so many incredible places--
