This was at taken at Christopher's pack meeting where he was getting his Whittling Chip badge. They wanted to see his fingers to see how many he had left.

Holocaust Memorial Berlin


The new Holocaust Memorial which just opened in May 2005. Some of the concrete blocks are very short and others very tall. As you wind your way thru and watch others around you disappear as they go around the blocks, you are reminded of what the Jews went thru, as their friends and family disappeared from their lives.

Kaiser Wilhelm Church

Relief as we get back to West Berlin!


Tom and Christopher getting ready to cross into the American sector of Berlin at Checkpoint Charlie. Christopher is not looking too good here, he's not sure if all of his papers are in order. Tom might have to smuggle him in.
