 The room where the gestapo murdered political prisoners during WWII...

Including Helmuth Hubner....

He was a 16 year old LDS member living in German during WWII.  He and his two friends created fliers and such and were serious resistance fighters.  They were captured by the Gestapo and were tortured and held prisoner here.  Only Helmuth was executed... he spent 18 seconds in this room where he was murdered by guillotine. 

 I got to see the Berlin Philharmonic... the number one orchestra in the world!!!!!! SO LEGIT!
