The trip to Eastern Europe, an opportunity to look indepth at the sites of the Nazi domination of Europe in the mid-twentieth century, consists of three major site visits: Berlin, central and southern Poland, and Prague. We begin in Berlin because it was the nexus of Nazi power. We visit what remains of the various Nazi ministries and bunkers, the monuments that exist or are under construction, artists' views of the history of this place-from artists' Renata Stih and Dr. Frieder Schnock's installation in the Bayerischer Platz to the monuments to the Nazi book burnings at the Bebelplatz and the heroic women of Rosenstrasse. And we reveled in the remarkable architecture and installations at the new Judisches Museum (Jewish Museum) in Berlin, designed by architect Daniel Libeskind, recently named architect overseeing the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site. Also part of our experience of Berlin is the postwar city, divided as it was by the Berlin Wall until 1989. We visit the remnants of the wall in several places in the city and we spend a considerable amount of time at the Haus der Checkpoint-Charlie, learning about the efforts of many people to escape from East to West during the Cold War. Moreover, no visit to Berlin would be complete without seeing some of its cultural treasures and museums. Each year has been different; in 2003, we visited the perennial favorite-the Pergamon Altar and the Ishtar Gate, both at the Pergamon Museum in the former East Berlin-as well as the Henri Matisse exhibition at the Berggruen Stiftung at Charlottenberg and the remarkable Old Master paintings collection at the Gemaldegalerie.
