I really liked this museum. We bought the museum pass which was €12 for most of the museums in berlin and valid for 3days. We may use this pass to enter other historical museum and other art museum. It had three level. The baseme lnt level was the learning centre and other sections like axis of holocaust. We spent almost 1hour in learning centre as we found it really informative.
The computers introduced us many different history of Jews ranging from the reason for the genocides and their poor lives in Europe. It displayed a lot of pictures and audios. We really learnt a lot of the history of jews in Europe. The learning centre was really a good place to deepen your knowledege about jews or fill in the missing part of knowledge of Jews. We then went to other sections which showed the life stories of some Jews and how their homemade things made money for them.
Then, we went to the first floor where exhibited the photos of a photograhiers once living in Germany. The photos were all quite nice.
Then, we went to the second floor where the permanent exhibition was.
It told us many other histories of Jews like where they moved from Germany. There was a little threater playing a kind of documentary film about the Jews. As they spoke in Deutsche, we did not know what it were talking about. We left and kept walking.
There was a wishing tree where we could put wish cards on the tree. I wrote some wishes for the Jews and we put our cards on the tree. We then kept walking and found abundant history of Jews including their family life and their feeling of being Jews, which was very interesting for me to know more.
We really felt sorry for the Jews. We spent almost 3 hours there and we left at 1400. Then, we went to Checkpoint Charles. This was an area where the exit and entrance point of the former American zone in Berlin. We stood under the big sign and took photos.
Next to it was a checkpoint station of the US army. There were two US soliders in army uniforms holding the US flag asking someone to take photos with them, which was €2 each time. I was not sure if they were the real one or not. We did not take photos with them and then went to some food booths to find something to it. We ate currywurst for €2..20 each.
The sausage was really good with ketchup and curry powder. We even put the ketschup on our breads too. We ate there and too a bit rest. Then., we went to the.topography of.terror, which was free and had a Berlin wallnext to the area.
Inside the area, we found many transparent glasses displaying the history of Germany.
But we read them in the wrong way and so we found a bit hard.to understand. We seriously read most all of the information glasses and got to know more about how Hitler changes Germany and started the WWII and how Jews lives affected by them. We spent 1.5hours there. We stood near the Berlin wall and took some pictures with it.
This wall was not very special but looked quite original as there were no any paintings or giraffes. We may found another Berlin wall somewhere else. Before Potsdam platz, we saw the Holocaust memorial where had a lot of grey reactuahles stuck on the ground.
People were not allowed to step on the grey cementary. We sometimes stand on it and took some awesome photos. Then, we went to Potsdam platz where we found some skylines like DB buildings and double deck bus where I rarely found in Mannheim and other big cities.
There was also a wall i guess separating the formwr soviet Union zone with others. A guy standing next to the wall askes aomeone to pay for photos. i thought this was not really soviet unions. This place was really modern. We then went to the Brandenburg gate, which was onece built for memorizing the contribution of the passed. We took some awesome pictures there.
This building was really beautiful. Behind the Brandenburg, there was a live brand on the stage playing different cool music's there.
The band sometimes sang in English and Germany. There were many benches down the stage and many people sitting on the brands and eating snacks. The area was full of people and visitors. And many of them had cups of bier on their hands which costed €2.5 bier for 1 which was quite cheap. The atmosphere was quite good and some of them got a bit hyper. We sat on the bench and listened 2 songs. We then left and went inside the Tiergarden which was very big and was on the other side of the Brandeburg. We saw some kinds of monument in our way.
Moreover, there were many grilled shop selling brotwürst, ice cream which smelled really good. There was a statue at the centre of Tiergarden and it took us around 20mins to get there and we chatted a lot on our way. We also talked about what to eat for dinner and we lost attention and just followed he bicycles and crossed the red light. A taxi was just 5m away and he just rang the bell and we were scared and ran over to the other side. Lucky us!!!
The statue was large and someone was on the tower. But we decided not to went up as we guess the view was not nice. We just walked circle of it and then walked back to the Brandeburg gate. There was quiet a lot of rubbish on the roads which we believed was left by the pedestrians. We kept walking and arrived at the Reichstag and we saw many people on the tower inside the Reichstag.
We asked the security guard if it was free to go. She told us it was free but we needed to do registration first. We then planned to wake up tomorrow early and went to the registration centre to register for it. It was already 1945. We walked back to the lidl near the hostel first to buy food.
However, when we got there and we found it was closed, probabbly because of public holiday-labour day. We only got spaghetti and some cheese left. We then chose to have döner outside. We found one near the Checkpoint Charles which sold €3.5 for one big döner. We took them away and ate them at hostel. It was very large and the best döner I had ever eaten. It was super big, crispy, juicy and tasty and we really loved it. We then took shower and then I felt asleep when I wrote diary afterthat. I went to sleep and would write it tomorrow night.
