Germany offers more than I could’ve imagined. The lingering horror of the past meets the excitement of the lively city of Berlin right in the middle so much that some days I don’t know what to feel. I’ve been impacted mostly by how we’re forced to live in both the past and future while we’re here. As a reporter on this trip, mornings are full of gathering footage and documenting the dark history of prisoner persecution and the holocaust, but the afternoons present some of the more fun experiences I’ve ever had. You’re either completely enveloped in Holocaust history or fully removed from it. Because we’re tourists, we stop by every monument or sign commemorating The Holocaust, but the locals here just pass on by. They’re desensitized to something we can barely hold back tears from.
