Bernice’s East Berlin tour yields grim impressions and escape fears
Bernice, a two year government teacher stationed in Frankfurt, recounts a tour of East Berlin's bombed zones, the Hitler bunker, and a grim Russian memorial. She observes drab crowds, widespread privatization ending in eventual government ownership, and a tense escape incident as two group members vanish as a bus departs. She notes families fleeing Poland, a cautious tour guide, and the uneasy mood among travelers.
