In addition, UGA doctoral student George Daniels joined American broadcast journalists for a two-week program similar to the one Drs. Hollifield and Becker participated in during the summer of 2000. The October program in Berlin included interviews with members of the German parliament, with German and American journalists, with former prisoners of the East German prison system, and with specialists dealing with the problem of youth violence in Germany. The program also included a visit to a former concentration camp and to memorial to the Berlin Wall. Participants also toured Berlin, listed to a concert by the Berlin Philharmonic, and spent a day at the Expo 2000 world fair in Hanover.
