The first few days in Berlin have been something of an emotional roller-coaster for many people. Wherever you look you are surrounded by Jewish memorials and memories of the Nazi regime.

At times it has been quite chilling. Many questions have been asked, with one recurring theme - how and why? And most importantly, never again.

The pre-camp programme was something quite unique . It is something I will never forget.

My personal highlight was the visit to Platform 17 at Grunewald Station - standing on the isolated track where thousands of Jews made their final journey really hit home.
