Hello guys,
So I'm back and I've come back from Germany.. and wow.
Germany gets a bad reputation because of what happened during the war and I know a lot of people are turned off from visiting this fucking amazing country because of it.
Now, that happened, and I'm not going to deny it, it was bad beyond words.
However.
Germany has come to terms with it's history and embraces it. It doesn't run from it's history as other countries do, I won't start to list them because I don't mean to offend during this post.
There are a lot of memorials and everyone is aware, to my knowledge, it's compulsory for a student in high school to attend a concentration camp at least once.
They are truly sorry for their mistakes and nobody around me seems to get that.
Only now that I have gone to this country of my dreams and taken pictures of their apologies, (which mind you, stand in plain sight, not hidden one bit) and listen to the stories, I realize. I finally see.
This exchange trip has open my eyes so much on Germany and has sky rocketed my respect for this country.
Now I am not a holiday adviser, nor am I a travel expert, so I will leave you with these few words, knowing that these are not enough to tell you how much they mean their apologies, nobody just wants to look, and those who dare look and pay attention, have their mind blown, eyes opened, and a guaranteed sky rocketed respect for the Germans and what they are doing.
Germany, is indeed, a land of remembrance, living, the new, and most importantly- the past.
More to come about Germany later.
