day 15: sachsenhausen concentration camp.

mosaic tours is a non-profit organization that leads tours to the sachsenhausen concentration camp memorial.
we heard about them through fat tire bike tours, who they're partnered with.

half of the group decided to spend today, one of our last days in berlin,
experiencing this part of germany's history.

the tour lasted from 10 am to 4 pm.
it was somewhat long and overwhelming,
but i am so glad i went.
i think i just need more time to sit with things like that.
and process those truths.

i don't really have words for what i experienced today,
but check out the mosaic tours online to learn about this particular camp.
they have a great history overview.




















tonight, we had another group dinner.
this time it was much fancier.
we dined at berliner fernsehturm.
it's inside the t.v. tower, overlooking all of berlin.
while you eat, the restaurant rotates,
so your view is always changing.
it was beautiful.
