Concentration Camp - Buchenwald

Morgan Moeller is planning a trip to Weimar, Germany, during the weekend we have off while in Berlin. A few of us are going to accompany her on her 5 hour round-trip train ride and spend the night in Weimar. Her grandfather helped liberate the concentration camp, Buchenwald, in Weimar. Morgan wants to visit it and take pictures for her family scrapbook.

UF group meets and brainstorms

Thursday April 21, 2005

The group of 10 UF students and Professor Freeman sat down to talk things over and began brainstorming possible story ideas.
  • Religion issues - Jewish community, Catholic community (reaction to new Pope)
  • Unemployment
  • Music Scene
  • Night Life
  • Skinheads - very iffy about this one.
  • Helmut Newton Bar
  • Tiergarten - Central Park area
  • Tourist Cars - restoring them
  • Soccer - World Cup
  • People who resent the wall coming down and the change that has occured
  • Americans in Berlin
  • Youth Culture
  • Modern art movement
  • Walking Tour, story of man who founded it
  • Festivals
  • Beer Brewery
  • Subway Life
  • TV tower
  • Zookeepers
  • Street Performers
  • Film Industry
  • Theatre
That's most of our ideas. We'll be finalizing who's covering what when we get there.
