Aug 26, 2009 - Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp, Germany
I wanted to head out to the Sachsenhausen concentration Camp but was torn between wanting to take a day tour so I would know exactly what it was I would be looking at, and going on our own so we wouldn’t be rushed around in a huge group like when I went through Auschwitz. At the end of the line is Oranienburg station and from there it is a 2km walk to the Sachsenhausen Memorial. ... After World War II, when Oranienburg was in the Soviet Occupation Zone, the structure was used as an NKVD special camp until 1950. ... The remaining buildings and grounds are now open to the public as a museum.I wanted to head out to the Sachsenhausen concentration Camp but was torn between wanting to take a day tour so I would know exactly what it was I would be looking at, and going on our own so we wouldn’t be rushed around in a huge group like when I went through Auschwitz.

Oct 29, 2005 - Potsdam palasten
As you all know, the Hohenzollerns, the enlightened rulers of Prussia, in the late 18th century, built several large palais in the French manner, but without any of the French sense of taste, way out yonder in Potsdam. ... We had a wonderful time, but sad to say, Potsdam was not in the western enclave of West Berlin during the years of the Communist Worker's Paradise. ... Place needs a lot of work, if you know what I mean.As you all know, the Hohenzollerns, the enlightened rulers of Prussia, in the late 18th century, built several large palais in the French manner, but without any of the French sense of taste, way out yonder in Potsdam. ...
