This week, I took a closer look at the history of Leipzig, climbed to the top of the Völkerschlachtdenkmal, and took the train to visit the neighboring city of Weimar!

The Weimar Republic lasted from 1919 to 1933 and was Germany's first democracy. This museum in Weimar taught me more about this period in Germany's history and it's successes and challenges

Did you know, after the First World War the U.S. supplied Germany with food care packages? President Herbert Hoover set up these programs to foster relations with Germany, but was later severely challenged under the Great Depression

Political campaign posters from the Weimar Republic. Can you spot who was running for election here?
