Hey Dad!
Today I did a short trip through the city. Emilia staied at our hosts home, because she didn't feel very well.
First I visited the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also known as the Holocaust Memorial. It is a memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. It consists of a 19,000 square metres site covered with 2,711 concrete slabs or "stelae", arranged in a grid pattern on a sloping field. The stelae are 2.38 m long, 0.95 m wide and vary in height from 0.2 to 4.8 m.
I also visited the Brandenburg Gate. It is a former city gate and one of the most well-known landmarks of Berlin and Germany.
And I went to the "Fernsehturm" (television tower) close to Alexanderplatz. It was not easy to go there. They are decorating everything for Christmas now!
The tower is part of the World Federation of Great Towers (WFGT). It was constructed between 1965 and 1969 and with its height of 368 meters, it is the tallest structure in Germany. There is a visitor platform and a revolving restaurant in the middle of the sphere.
Yours, Hippo
