ICH BIN EIN BERLINER

I had the good fortune to spend four incredible days in Berlin last week. As this was a first visit for me I embarked on a four hour walking tour of the city on an unpredictably sunny November morning through all the major historical and memorial sites. I was fascinated and enthralled the whole way through!

Some of the shots from the walk:




Memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe



                       The Berlin Wall - hard to believe sometimes that this only came down in 1989



Memorial for the Burning of the Books - the empty bookshelves representing the books that were destroyed.

The Museum in front of which the infamous Nazi rallies were staged
