The three piggies arrived to Berlin on Friday, March 29th at night.

They put their bags down but almost immediately met some German guys so they went out with them to a place called, "Suicide Club." Yeah....it was a good time though. Not nearly as traumatic as it sounds. Just a converted warehouse.
The next day they ventured out to find the Pergamon Museum, a museum they've been wanting to visit for about 3 years now, ever since they decided to study Ancient near Eastern archaeology their sophomore year of college. This museum has everything. But on the way they saw this very interesting "Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe."

Best of all in the museum:

The next morning, Easter Sunday, they went on a free tour of Berlin in the snow. They saw a lot of historic communist and nazi highlights:
.
Hitler's Bunker
Berlin Wall
Checkpoint Charlie
.
Site of the Nazi book burning:

After the tour they went for a beer:

On their final day they checked out the 1936 Olympic stadium where Hitler tried to be racist against Jesse Owens and he ended up stomping all over the idea of any sort of racial superiority of Aryans by winning like 4 gold medals for the US.
