Visiting this town is all about Martin Luther. The one who started the campagin of Protestant. In 1517, he posted 95 Theses on the church's door to challenge the Catholic Rules at that time. We came to this town to see his history and especially the church that he nailed the theses on.
The first picture was the church, which was rebuilt due to fire. The door that he nailed the theses of course did not exist any more. However, the church had built a new door at the same location and the Ninety-Five Theses was engraved on the metal door. Martin Luther was also buried in this church.

We also visited his house and read his history. He was quite wealthy at that time indeed. The first picture is Lutherhaus, i.e. Luther's house. This was a house additionally built on an existing house at that time. So some trace of ruins were found.
He had quite a long time hiding in his house when he was persecuted by Roman Church. He and his friends often had gathering at this house to discuss the church's problem and the third picture showed a handwriting in chalk by his friend.

In the afternoon, we started our city tour at Berlin. We took a train from Wittenberg to Potsdam Square (not Potsdam, this station is in Berlin). This is the place where Sony Center is situated. When we exited from the train station, we found a section of Berlin Wall.
Then we walked to the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe. The place needs no introduction as I think all of you would know what it is. I saw someone standing on the concrete block which does not show their respect to the monument. This place also gives me a heavy atmosphere.

Waking a few minutes south is the Führerbunker, the bunker of the head of state. That was the bunker that Hilter stayed in the war time. It is now a carpark with a board showing the layout of the bunker. The place where they found the corpse of Hilter has two tall trees.

After that we headed to Bebelplatz to revisit the underground library, the place where Hilter organized a book-burning campagin. Underground library is in fact a room underground with white and empty bookselves on the wall. At night a light beam will grow up to the sky. This reminds us how blind they are at WW2.
