Nyhavn and the Museum of Danish Resistance

Yesterday I had some time after class to walk around Nyhavn, the canal and entertainment district of Copenhagen.  It's only a 10 minute walk from DIS and is a great place to hang out during breaks in between classes.  We're planning on taking a canal tour soon while the weather is still nice, you can see the canal boats in the background.

Today was my first field study with my Holocaust and Genocide class.  We walked around the army barracks and went to the Museum of Danish Resistance to learn about the occupation of Denmark in 1940 to 1945.  At the museum, there were uniforms, photos, weapons, ID cards and much more on display that helped us to understand the German occupation.
