Praha

Our last stop on the European adventure, the stunning city of Prague.

Untouched by war or destruction, Prague has maintained its original architecture and grandeur and stands today as one of Europe's most beautiful and classic cities.

Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp

Phil and I decided to take a tour of the Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp memorial after taking the Free Berlin Walking Tour a few days before. We were not disappointed.

It was a somber day, accented by the rain and grey skies, but we were both glad to have spent the time to see a sight that has extraordinary historical history

Here a quick synopses of the site:


The first concentration camp in Germany, operating between 1936 and 1945. Executions took place at Sachsenhausen, especially of Soviet Prisoners of War. Some Jews were executed at Sachsenhausen and many died there, but most Jewish inmates of the camp were relocated to Auschwitz in 1942. Sachsenhausen was not intended as an extermination camp — instead, the systematic murder was conducted in camps to the east. However, many died as a result of executions, casual brutality and the poor living conditions and treatment.
