Bright and early on Thursday the 23rd of October, thirty-seven students and four teachers left Hazelwood College to travel to Dublin airport to begin our historical school trip to Berlin, led by Mr Farrell.
Undoubtedly, the trip was jam packed with historical outings, from Checkpoint Charlie to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. Of course, we did allow time for fun, with visits to Berlin Zoo and BunteSchokoWelt Chocolate Factory.
Our tour commenced with a visit to Checkpoint Charlie, followed by the Berlin Wall Museum. Each and every student was immensely interested in the information showcased in the museum as events involving the Berlin Wall were brought before our eyes.
The following morning began with a tour of Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, now home stadium to Hertha BSC, of the Budesliga. The tour involved viewings of the dressing rooms, VIP lounges and also, the remains of the balcony where Hitler addressed the crowd during the Berlin Olympics in 1936. We then went on to visit the Jewish Museum, where we viewed various exhibitions, educating us on Jewish culture.
Saturday began with a long-awaited visit to Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp. Without a doubt, this was the most eye-opening aspect of our trip. This revealed to us the true horror of the Holocaust, and brought to life these horrific events.
That evening, we travelled to the DDR museum, which showed us everyday life in East Germany throughout its existence. Afterwards, we headed for the Reichstag, where we saw a birds-eye view of Berlin as we scaled the dome.
Thankfully, each and every student and teacher thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the trip.
