I'm going to Germany to visit my friend after I graduate from high school in June. We are planning to travel Europe by train. Where should we go? anyone?
Answer
Definitely depends on how much time you have to travel. If you have a month or two then you could get a bunch of travel in.
It also depends if you are using your friend's place in Germany as a "base camp" and taking little train trips or you want to go the marathon backpacking route.
Personally I would recommend the backpacking option. If you are starting in Germany then get your friend to show you the highlights. I loved Munich and Berlin. Also some of the smaller places like Rothenburg aud Taber and Bamberg were nice.
From there if it is a short trip I would try to do a nice and easy circle going from Germany east to Prague. It is AMAZING and definitely worth the time. It is a beautiful, safe and fun place to spend a couple of days. From there if you have time, go to Austria. Vienna is beautiful, but spend some time in the Alps. They are well worth the time and they are a little less crowded in Austria than in Switzerland. Also Switzerland is more expensive (I loved Switzerland and it's worth the time if you have it, but if you are going to cut something short then I would just hit up the alps as part of Germany or Austria).
Then dip down into Italy. Italy is fantastic, I can't say enough about that country. I loved it there. I would spend most of my time in the north (Venice, Florence, Cinque Terre, and Rome as the furthest south). There is a lot to see in Italy, but those are my favorites. I could spend months in Rome though!!! If you do decide to go to Pisa (as recommended above) only spend a few hours there. Other than the tower, there is NOTHING really there. Everyone (including myself) who I know has been there hasn't been super impressed with Pisa. Florence is a better spot.
From Italy I would shoot up to France and spend most of the time in Paris. So much to see and do, I can't wait to go back!
If you have more than a few weeks to travel then expand on this a bit. Go to Switzerland, Spain, take the train to London if you have time. There are really a billion things to do and see and you will never get it all in one trip. But a good loop hitting the highlights will leave you with some great memories, and give you an amazing flavor for all the different countries.
Have fun and take a ton of pics!

What are the labor camps during the holocaust?
Alanis
What do labor camps do?
Were they like normal concentration camps or more like safer camps?
Im doing a paper on something related to this and I wanted to know.
Thank You!
Answer
"From the beginning of the Third Reich concentration camps were founded, initially as places of incarceration. Though the death rate in the concentration camps was high, with a mortality rate of 50%, they were not designed to be killing centres. (By 1942, six large extermination camps had been established in Nazi-occupied Poland, which were built solely for mass killings.) After 1939, the camps increasingly became places where Jews and POWs were either killed or made to work as slave laborers, undernourished and tortured.[98] It is estimated that the Germans established 15,000 camps and subcamps in the occupied countries, mostly in eastern Europe.[99][100] New camps were founded in areas with large Jewish, Polish intelligentsia, communist, or Roma and Sinti populations, including inside Germany. The transportation of prisoners was often carried out under horrifying conditions using rail freight cars, in which many died before reaching their destination."...
