Berlin - Year 10 Trip Report

Day four

Sunday was another busy day. Students have had a walking tour of Berlin where they have used the S-bahn, seen the offices of the Bundestag and the Chancellors offices. They also visited the memorial to the Jewish victims and viewed the bunker where Hitler spent the final days of his life.

Day two

The focus of today has been resistance and terror in Nazi Germany, including a very moving visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp as well as Plotzensee Prison, where enemies of the Third Reich were incarcerated. We also went to Gleis 17 Grunewald which was the railway platform where Jews were deported from Berlin to the extermination death camps.
