Memorial to the Murdered European Jews also know as the Holocaust Memorial. Consists of2711 (hollow) concrete blocks across a huge field. Below the memorial is a museum about Jewish life and the attempted extermination - very moving.



Brandenburg Gate from 1791, the last of the original 18 city gates with the Quadriga on top. The goddess of victory pulled by 4 horses. I thought it was interesting that Napoleon stole it but had to give it back.


Riechstag, the Parliament building from 1894. Partially destroyed in 1933, which helped hilter rise to power. The building got a new modern dome where you can walk around inside and look down on the Bundastag (what a funny word) and also view the city.


An original part of the wall, near the Topography of Terror. This is a small section left intact. The Topography of Terror displays info on the SS, Gestopo etc.

Checkpoint Charlie, it was demolished then re-build. We also visited the museum where there were many stories of escape, attempted escape and modes of escape.
