Berlin was always on my short list of cities to see, but I wasn’t exactly sure why. I thought it had something to do with WWII and that generations upon generation ago, my family came from Germany.
When I arrived, all of my expectations magnified into reality. My imagination could not even comprehend a city so full of culture, history, and amidst pain–enchantments.
I started my visit with a (very cold) walking tour through the city. Snapping pictures of the Brandenburg Gate, the Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie, the East Side Gallery, New Synagogue, and Humbolt University, I felt like I was in the center of the world, around which the rest of history rotates.
It was humbling.
