This is Tim! We loved him!
To do the tour you meet at AlexanderPl. You see all of the city and hear the history of each place. I have to admit I totally geaked out due to teaching so much of it.
This is Seigessule. Hitler moved this whole building due to the fact he did not like the location.
We saw the place that the first burning of the books. This was part of the Jewish Smear campaign. Today it is hard to tell that something so awful happened on such a beautiful campus. It happened on the campus because Hitler had convinced the youth to join him. It was also in front of the public library.
Tim talked quite a bit at this point about how before Hitlers rise in Germany and especially in Berlin. The country was very liberal. It basically happened over night that it became so conservative. Many people fled over night.
