Our second day in London started off with a trip to the Imperial War Museum. We saw many things and since, most of us in the group do not take History, this visit really helped us gain a better understanding of both the first World War and second World War. Moreover, we got to see things from a different perspective. In Secondary 2, we only learnt about the war in Asia and Japan. Thus, through this experience, we managed to see the whole picture, for example, we now know who were involved in the war, and also know the rough timeline of events.
However, the thing that had the greatest impact on us would be the Holocaust Exhibition within the museum. The way the Jews, homosexuals etc were treated by the Germans, and definitely Adolf Hitler, was simply apalling. We were able to appreciate the Holocaust Exhibition as we have heard a bit about the story of Adolf Hitler and his torture and cruelty towards the Jews. All the hardships and sufferings of all those thought to be inferior to the Aryans was shocking and horrifying.
Next, we moved on to see another museum called Winston Churchill's Britain at War Museum. This museum was not as informative as compared to the other museums that we have visited so far. However, through pictures, movies, video clips, and real-war scenarios, we gained better insight on how it would be like to live through the air raids, blackouts, etc.
Later, we saw the Tower Bridge and snapped many photos of it. We walked on the London Bridge, and headed to the visit the Tate Modern Gallery. All in all, we enjoyed this last day in London. :)
