Behind the wall are the ruins of the SS headquarters. As you walk around the wall you take some stairs to what is left of the basement where prisoners were kept and tortured. It is now an exhibit. You see from the next picture it is called the Topagraphy of Terror. The exhibit emphasizes the importance of the "pencil pushers" who without their positions, plans, and directives the Holocaust couldn't have happened. They were the ones from their desks that organized the alienation and death of the Jews and others.
You will see the organizational chart of the different government departments. It was very systematic!
Our guide was Thorston. One of his jobs is working at the Jewish museum in Berlin. You will see that later. He is finishing his Doctorit and his knowledge of the Holocaust was amazing. Our guides we college professors and their classrooms were Germany and Poland, who could ask for anything more?
