More Germany Pics
Ok here is Germany pics post #2. This time I will be sharing my concentration camp pictures ( the Neuengamme Memorial), pictures from Lubeck and Travelmeunde (where we visited the Baltic Sea) and some pictures from Potsdam (where we saw the summer palace of Frederick the Great).
Enjoy.
Neuengamme Memorial (stands in the place of Neuengamme-a concentration camp)
This was a factory where they forced starving prisoners to make bricks.
Same as above.
The last standing bunker is off in the distance. The rest are only the bases of where the bunkers once stood. Our guide told us they forced as many as 700-800 people to live in one building with 20 toilets and 10 sinks. Cruel.
Distant shot of the last standing bunker.
The next 2 pics are of an old location used by the Nazi's to do TB tests. They hung twelve children in the basement of this building, because they did not want them to tell their story. A memorial now stands in the basement of the building.
This is a plaque from the Rose Garden, which neighbors the previous memorial in honor of the children. It is a time for remembrance and this plaque pretty much says it all. "Here you stand being silent but when you leave here be silent not."
On a lighter note: Lubeck and Travelmeunde.
Joanna being fruity on the train to Lubeck. (Lubeck and Travelmeunde are neighboring cities that are popular vacation spots for the Germans, since they are by the beach).
Lydia and I at the train station in Lubeck.

Lubeck town center.
I don't recollect where this was, but it is a funny pic of Joanna.
Inside an old gothic church.
From Lubeck, we took a boat down the river to Travelmeunde. Joanna and I decided to give eachother tattoos.
Picture off the side of the boat.
Here is Dr. Bankston lecturing us once we got off the boat in Travelmeunde.
Travelmeunde Beach.
Me by the Baltic Sea.
On the way back from Travelmeunde, we relaxed with a few drinks on the train.
Feeling nice right about now. (Lydia, Joanna)
He had way to much to drink. I'm very serious.
Potsdam
Downtown Potsdam.
Walkway up to Frederick the Great's summer palace (called Schloß Sanssouci). If you look closely, you can see the palace at the top of the hill in the background.
The palace.
Close up of the front of the palace.
Frederick's tea house, which is covered in gold, is where Frederick housed exotic Asian teas, which I'm assuming was a luxury at the time.
One of Frederick's gardens.
