Goin' To The Palace

I went to Charlottenburg Palace home to some of the German Royals in the 1800's.  I snuck a few pictures because after I was already walking around I found that it was 3 euros extra to use a camera and I didn't feel like going back and paying.

Across the street I went to Museum Berggruen, a Jewish Art Dealer who returned to Berlin and left a museum which houses some wonderful Matisses, Giacomettis, Braques and Picassos along with Paul Klee.

I went to the Judisches Museum designed by Daniel Libeskind. It traces the high and low points of German Jewish history from the end of the Roman age to the present.   I am finding that Budapest, Berlin and Prague (next stop) have strong Jewish historical sights and quarters.

I guess almost any European city has a Jewish quarter in their history with equal amounts of savage acts against us at different times in our history.  The Jews were blamed for the Bubonic plague in the 1300's.  I don' think I knew that.

I did not get any pictures of the museum because it was already dark when I arrived. Between that museum and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem I have gotten an eyeful of the worst atrocities.
