Barcelona, Spain: Visiting Berlin

Submitted by Samantha Hoag on the 2018 spring semester program in Barcelona, Spain…

This week I went to Berlin, Germany with two other girls in the program. It was a really unique city with such rich history and culture. It was so fascinating to see the Berlin Wall and learn about the struggles that led to it being built and then eventually torn down. We also saw the Holocaust Memorial there for the Jews of Europe. It was an extremely moving experience that I won’t forget. I hope to go back to Berlin some day and see more of it because it is a huge city and we only had three days to see it all. It was an amazing way to spend the weekend.
