Hi Gran
Julie, myself and two aussie friends visited the Sacshenhausen Concentration camp just north of Berlin last Sunday. It was a dark and chilling day to visit a place that was used by the Nazis and then by the Soviets after WWII . The photo is of the gate to the prison with the memorial erected to political prisoners in the background (the cynical sign says "work makes you free" but in reality the prisoners were told on arrival that the only way out was via the crematorium smokestack) There were very good museum exhibitions inside the original barracks and guard towers that gave an impression of what life and conditions were like. We'll try and send more cheerful subject matter next time!
Love from Brendan
