Year 11 History trip to Berlin

Dominic C, Year 11 reports: “We flew into Berlin, for a four-day trip, on Friday 17th January. That afternoon, we got the chance to go into the dome of the Reichstag and to see the Brandenburg Gate. After that, we saw the Holocaust Memorial. The next day (my favourite day), we saw a remnant of the Berlin Wall, we toured a Stasi (secret East German police) prison and visited the Topography of Terror, about Nazi violence towards minorities. We also ate currywurst that day! On Sunday, we got to visit a concentration camp where mainly political prisoners were held. We also got to shop at a local market. For the final day, we visited a museum about life in East Germany before flying home that evening.”
