Day 4 - Berlin - Typography of Terror


In the morning we had more culture from the typography of terrors museum showing and explain the torture the Jews went through with the SS and SA.
It was very heart retching and made me very angry. The bleak architecture of a grey box structure with not must lighting only natural light did not help the atmosphere and mood. The wall to wall images and text was so insightful but difficult as it was quiet overwhelming. But extremely understandable.
The horrible images like those seen in the boy in the striped pyjamas and schindlers list was one that you could relate to as you had seen them before.


The other area of the museum alliterated Jews who had live through the war and the concentration camp – with short statements of there experience – what it was like, what happened while they were there. It was a part that pulled the heart strings.
