Hello Friends and welcome to my Europeanische Journal. In an effort to save time and share some of my experiences with every one of you, I decided to create this blog. Some days there will be many entries and some days there will be few but hopefully you can enjoy some of my experiences along with me!
Above is a picture of the Neue Synagogue (New Shul) located at the center of Berlin on Oranienberger Strasse (Strasse is Street) The shul was completely burnt down during Kristallnacht (Nov. 1938) but the outside has recently been restored.




Last Thursday, I visited Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. This was a very intense experience and I felt a little awkward in my hawaiian shirt. Aside from the site being a memorial to the concentration camp it serves as a museum as well, with plenty of information and details about the camp and its prisoners...















I was surprised to discover the "arbeit macht frei" on the entrance to the camp. I thought this was something exclusive to Auschwitz.
